During the month of June, nearly 100 Marion Patriot Pride Band members in grades 7-12 attended Destination Band Camp on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.
Destination Band Camp, the longest running band camp in the South, has been fostering outstanding musicians for more than 85 years.
The Marion entourage had an amazing time performing in concerts, participating in jazz band, masterclasses, and individualized instruction. Destination Band Camp has become a summer tradition for numerous Marion band students and helps to prepare the young musicians for success in the coming school year.
