Hello all and welcome to the Texas A&M-Kingsville Drum Major Camp! If you have already signed up, we look forward to seeing you. If you are debating whether or not to attend the TAMUK Drum Major Camp, we would love to have you join us!

The Drum Major Camp will be led by Andrew Rogers, former Blue Devil Drum Major (2008-2011) and Leadership Technician for L.D. Bell H.S. in Hurst, TX. While serving in the Blue Devils, the corps won the Drum Corps International World Championships 3 times, and Andrew was also named “Blue Devil of the Year” twice (2009 & 2011). Andrew is also teaching various System Blue Leadership camps this summer, as well as leadership camps and drum major camps in the DFW area.

Please Bring:
-    A positive attitude
-    Comfortable, athletic clothing and tennis shoes for all sessions
-    Small notebook
-    Pen or pencil
-    Water bottle

At the end of the camp, there will be an Evaluation Routine Challenge. This evaluation routine will include commands, salutes, conducting, and marching. The purpose is to have drum majors follow a specific set of instructions, similar to what they may encounter during a halftime or contest performance.

There will also be a Conducting Challenge for drum major teams or individuals to compete in. You may choose any piece you would like to conduct to, but it must be 2-5 minutes long. You will be judged on uniformity, tempo, clarity, musicality, and presentation.
