we never got to march on the field until our first football game, it sucked. It's really different.

We didn't have band camp; we had "show up to the band room at school, practice your heart out for a while, then screw off the rest of the session" camp. We had a mallet instructor come from a nearby college to help with the teaching. I swear this guy was the most emo guy I have ever seen. I'll see if i can get a pic for ya. Piercings everywhere, listened to Smashing Pumpkins, drove an old school Volkswagen Beetle sittin on custom 15" rims, deep blue paint job, had an old-sounding ooooga car horn, pushin an alpine head unit with 12's in the trunk (in the front to); this guy could play the bells like no one else. Me and the other to "malleteers" became the envy of every school that year because of the stuff we learned. Never had that much fun in my life. I liked our makeshift band camp lol.

Lmao. Our band camp is called "S.P.A." (Summer Performance Academy)
Basically we stay at the school 9AM-9PM and practice for about eight days or so. We take over the whole campus. For marching, we got to go on the practice field near the baseball diamonds since our turf wasn't installed in our stadium, yet. For full ensemble we had to all squeeze ourselves into the theater stage. However, for sectionals, the band takes over the whole campus and practices wherever. The flutes usually took the theater. B]
