2024 Marching Chips drum major, color guard and drum line camp

More than 100 high school marching band leaders from across Michigan visited Central Michigan University July 5 through 12 for the 2024 Marching Chips drum major, color guard and drum line camp. The week-long camp had students working alongside professional musicians, musical educators and current members of the CMU marching bands to grow skills, increase their knowledge bases, and hone their problem-solving, team-building and leadership skills, camp organizers said. They showcased what they learned in an hour-long concert for supporters and friends Friday, July 12, at Jack Saunders Marching Band Field (CM Life staff photos).
