Leadership Camp will be held on Thursday, June 4, from 2:00–6:00 PM and Friday, June 5, from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM. This FBISD district-wide camp brings together student leaders from all high schools across the district. The camp will be led by Breakdown, a company that specializes in teaching dance, movement, body awareness, and the visual fundamentals of modern marching band performance.

Unfortunately, FBISD has limited the number of students each campus may send this year. As a result, percussion and color guard leaders will not be attending Leadership Camp. However, both groups will have the opportunity to participate in their own dedicated Percussion and Color Guard Camp in July.
