Band families, please mark your calendars. The 2025 Arp H.S. Tiger Pride Band camp is Monday July 28 - Friday Aug. 1.
For next school year's 9th-12th grade students that plan to be part of the band program in 2025-26, attending the camp, and participating in all rehearsals is a requirement. So band director Cody Sturdivant is asking to please make plans accordingly so your student is able to attend all practices & rehearsals.
