Students in seventh to twelfth grade took part in a two-week band camp from August 10 to 21 to kick off the Newtown Marching Band & Color Guard season.

The camp encompasses music, athleticism, show visuals, and marching technique. The annual camp was significantly adjusted to comply with state and town COVID-19 protocols while giving the students the opportunity to perfect the show for an as-yet uncertain season.

NHS Bands Director Kurt Eckhardt said, "The kids have been 'Incredible' as we prepare our show titled, 'The Incredible Nighthawks,' with music from the movie 'The Incredibles.' Due to [COVID-19], there will be no live competitions this year and the prospects for other opportunities for performances are limited. Despite that, the kids have been enthusiastic, working hard, and cooperating diligently with the many safety restrictions we need to follow."
