Although football season and band competitions aren't yet underway, the Braden River High marching band is starting the 2015-2016 school year on a high note. To prep for upcoming events, the East County school offered a two-week camp, which ended Aug. 14, to keep students playing and fine-tuning their craft throughout summer. The band camp focused on marching formations and learning the group's competition piece, "Dream,"Â for the upcoming year.Â
