WTMB Summer Drum Major Camp is Back! - June 20th-22nd, 2025 we will be hosting a drum major and student leadership camp here in Laramie. The camp will focus on student leadership skills, conducting, score study and musicianship, and marching band fundamentals. High school marching band drum majors and leaders are encouraged to attend. Directors are welcome to attend the sessions at no extra charge. This camp will coincide with the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps residence on UW's campus. Participants in the camp will get to work with some of the Blue Devils members and staff. We are offering housing options to stay in the dorms. Please contact Lexis Hamilton in our Box Office for more details and register by JUNE 3RD if interested. Payment is due NO LATER than time of check in.
Every student who registers for the camp MUST pay the Tuition Cost. If the student would like to stay on campus, in the dorms, they are required to pay the Room & Board cost. If the student is not staying in the dorms, they can purchase individual meals if they would like to eat in the dining halls with the other participants. Please note, there is NO REQUIREMENT TO STAY IN THE DORMS.
