2027 Marching Band Registration
Hello Marching Band Parents and Students,
As our 2026 marching band season comes to a close, I have already started to plan our show for next year and finalize details for camp. Please see the info below about our 2027 Marching Band Camp! Your students will also receive the attached flyer at rehearsal tonight. I hope your student enjoyed this year's marching band season and plan to join again next year!
2027 BAND CAMP DATES
Week 1: July 12–15 at Warren Mott High School
Week 2: July 20–24 at Adrian College
BAND CAMP COST & PAYMENTS
The total cost for 2027 Band Camp is $650 per student.
Families who make a deposit of $150 or more by April 12 will receive a $50 discount, making the total cost $600. The remaining balance and entire cost of camp must be paid by Friday, May 28th, to participate in camp. The reason the cost is higher this year is that upon receiving parents from students and parents, we will be switching back to coach buses.
Colorguard students will have an additional cost of $125, which includes a colorguard bag, jacket, and shoes.
Payments can be made by check payable to WMBC (Warren Mott Band Club) or cash at registration on April 12th, or online through CutTime.
I am sharing this information early so families can begin planning and making partial payments if a payment plan would be helpful. If you would like to pay before registration on Monday, April 12th, you can drop off cash or a check labeled with your student's name at the Warren Mott High School main office or make a payment through CutTime.
BAND CAMP REGISTRATION
Registration will take place on Monday, April 12, from 6:30–8:30 PM. Registration forms will be sent home at the end of March. Registration can be completed in person or online, but as an incoming student I recommend you plan to attend in person.
WEEK 2 CHAPERONES NEEDED
We will be looking for parent chaperones to join us at Week 2 at Adrian college. The cost for a Week 2 chaperone is $200, which includes a Skittle Shirt.
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
The WMBC Boosters currently have two fundraisers underway:
Poppin Popcorn: Orders due November 2
Wreath Fundraiser: Orders due November 9
Fundraiser forms can be returned to your middle school band director or dropped off at the Warren Mott High School main office.
Upcoming fundraisers include Krispy Kreme in December, followed by a mattress sale and Hungry Howie's in the spring.
All fundraiser profits go directly into your student's individual account and can be used toward band camp expenses. Participating is a great way to help offset the cost of camp!
POPPIN POPCORN FUNDRAISER
Our online Poppin Popcorn fundraiser runs from October 12 through November 2. In addition to gourmet popcorn, the online store offers chocolates, sausages, cheeses, cookies, wrapping paper, and other seasonal items.
The fundraiser generates a 50% profit, with 80% of that profit credited directly to your student's individual account.
For example:
$140 in sales: $70 profit, with $56 credited to your student's account.
$300 in sales: $150 profit, with $120 credited to your student's account.
Students should have received an email with their registration link. If not, register using the link below:
