I would like to encourage you to continue to play music at El Camino High School. The El Camino High School Instrumental Music Program has many opportunities for students to perform, such as marching band, concert band, Jazz band, orchestra, drum line, and color guard. (updated 2/19/25)

Here is a one-stop-shop slide deck to get you started. This slide deck has a lot of information that will help you why you should continue in music, video performances of EC ensembles, class enrollment information important documents and dates, and contact information.

Fundraising Information and Options

Being a part of the EC Music Program requires a lot of help from students and parents to financially support of our staff, students, and a variety of other additional expenses that are not covered by the district. We have a variety of fundraisers scheduled for the year which we hope will work for each family to help support in whatever they are able. Click here for specific information and helpful tips on fundraising possibilities to support your students. 

Mini Camp Schedule: Schedule: TBA

Mini camp is scheduled for June 16 and 17, 2025 from 12:30pm-4:30pm. The camp is such a helpful way for students to meet and get to know each other. AND, start learning the music/choreography for the fall marching band field show. Staff and student leadership will be with new members and have a dedicated time to work with them to get them up to speed and ready for the fall.
