This event takes place Friday, December 20 - Sunday, December 22, 2024.
Bluecoats provides meals to students during the Callback Camp - we recommend eating a meal before you arrive.
Overnight housing is provided on Friday and Saturday nights. Like during a drum corps tour, students should bring sleeping gear (air mattress/sleeping pad, sleeping bag, pillow) for sleeping on a gym floor.
Ground transportation to/from Akron-Canton airport (CAK) and Cleveland Hopkins International (CLE) is provided.
Arrival: Shuttle service for arrivals will begin in the afternoon on Friday, December 20th. In order to get you to camp before rehearsal begins at 8:00 PM, plan to arrive no later that 6:00 PM.
If arriving after 6:00 PM, we will provide shuttle service, but you may arrive to campus after rehearsal begins
Departure: Shuttle service for departures will begin at 3:00 PM on Sunday, December 22nd. Please book travel after 5:00 PM.
If an earlier departure is booked, Bluecoats may be able to provide ground transportation, but understand you may be asked to leave before rehearsal has concluded.
