BOA really lives up to the hype people give it. It is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for students to learn more about not only their pathway but also who they really are.
Attending will allow you to build on character, leadership, and content. All while learning from people who are truly the best of the best.
This camp taught me valuable leadership skills at a very high level. I would strongly recommend this camp for all who are able to attend…at any skill level.
The staff are the best in the country, and they show it. Everything is perfected and it is a comfortable environment to learn and grow in.
The camp was an incredible week where we were able to put together drill in just a week to then march with Carolina Crown!!
You learn so much and you make so many great friends. I did leadership weekend and the marching band division, and I had so much fun!
You forget all about the hard work. I guarantee you will be wishing it was Monday again at the end of the week!
At camp I learned a LOT about leading, friendship, and hard work. I could come here a thousand times and learn something new each and every time I came back.
This camp gives a great experience into learning and memorizing music. It also gives a look into DCI as well as pushing your social barriers, forcing you to make new friends.
I think this is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The leadership weekend gave me so much useful information I can bring back to my band.
