We (my old school) used to have music rehearsals once a week during june, and then have band camp in august. I'm not totally sure if they still do it or not.

we used to have stuff around july if i remember right...and i know some schools in our area go to like West Virginia for band camp...we were never that lucky. But we had stuff going on from July all the way til the first football game...maybe it was the end of June til then, I don't remember...I'm getting old *sigh*

Our high school marching band fundamentals was a summer class that they paid $125 to attend and there was no academic credit awarded. It went for like 6 weeks (8:30 AM -10:45 AM). No one complained about not receiving any credit for it either.

There was another set of rehearsals for the July 4 parade that all members of the band were expected to march in. Some juniors and seniors would not participate in the fundamentals class during the summer, but the band director required them to marchin the July 4 parade. Those parade practices were Mondays and Wednesday evenings 5:30 - 8:00 PM and began the Monday AFTER school let out in June. Nothing but 6-to-5 marching and playing, continuously marching around the rear parking lot.
