Its the second day of bandcamp. Today is Friday May 29th, Wed. was the last day of school. Thurs. was the first day of Mini camp.
For those that aren't in the know, like any sport (yes I consider marching band a sport and now you can expect a blog on that) a lot of practice time goes into preparing for marching band performances. The time involved can differ depending on the type of marching band performances your band will be doing. You want a couple of examples? OK.
Growing up I was in marching band as a Ramette at Whitehall Yearling High School. Go Rams! Our band performed at every football game halftime show, home and away. We learned a new show every week. We started the season with a week long bandcamp, during which we all slept in cabins and spent the majority of the day working on technique, learning drill/music, and having some recreational/bonding time. Throughout the fall Band class and the Ramette class was 8th period and we practiced our show. We had a Thurs. night practice and occasionally went to one of the local competitions, parades (Circleville Pumpkin Fest or Reynoldsburg Tomato Fest Come to mind)or fairs....
More Ramblings, and eventually a point to come.
