Pride of Acadiana Band Camp & Classes

Band Camp

All students interested in participating in the Pride of Acadiana are required to attend Band Camp, typically held the week before classes begin.  You can find more information regarding camp and the Fall schedule for the PoA by downloading our Summer Newsletter (available July 2024).

UNIV 100

To all incoming freshman: you are exempt from attending the “Cajun Connection” portion of your UNIV 100 course, though you will need to make up the missed time via an online seminar. Your instructors will be informed of your membership in band and you will be excused from attending UNIV 100 on those days.

Classes & Rehearsals

After the semester begins, rehearsals take place on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:15–2:15 pm in the fall semester only. Evening sectionals will also be posted in our upcoming newsletter.

If you are in the Pride of Acadiana, you earn course credit. If this is your first or second year in the marching band, register for AMUS 152. If this is your third or fourth year in the Pride, register for AMUS 352.
