Band Camp 2007
Our marching band just finished Band Camp for the 2007 season. We spend six hours marching and playing music for two weeks straight to kick-start the marching band season. It is always a lot of work, and all this week it was in the sun. Everyone gets very strange tan lines and sunburns, and your personal life ends when it begins. But it’s not actually that bad, and it definitely is necessary. When it comes time for the first football game or competition, everyone is thankful that we put that much hard work and time into our show.
Despite the fact that we just spent 60 hours on marching band, we now have three rehearsals a week. Two of them are three hours apiece, and one of them is five. Last season we had around 230 hours of total rehearsal time. But we also placed sixth in state. This year we’re a lot farther along, and it is going to be a great year.
