We normally have this:
Monday = 3-5
Tuesday = 6-9
Thursday = 6-9
But sometimes they throw in:
Friday = 6-9
Saturday = 9-4
along with the normal schedule...

Sometimes in this case meaning almost every week.

Somehow, every year, when they pick the week of band camp, it happens to be the hottest week of the entire year. And we're outside, on the asphalt from 7am to noon. Then we take an hour lunch then practice our music inside until 4pm. During the school year we practice Monday and Tuesday from 6pm to 9pm and Thursdays are 4-6. Not to mention games and festivals.

Rookie Camp is the week after school. 8am- 3pm I go because it's fun. xD
Percussion Camp is the week before band camp and it's from 7am-2pm
Band Camp is usually in the end of June. (it's a week) 8am-6pm
Breaks are whenever our BD feels like it.

Then we have at least two more practices before school starts from 4pm-6pm.
During school: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays 4pm-6pm for the first 6 weeks. Then it's Mondays 4-5 for auxilary. 5-7 for percussion. Tuesday 4-6, just band. Thursdays full band from 4-6.

And sectionals are whenever the rank sargeant wants it. I never and always go to my trombone sectional. Because it's on Wednesday and I usually stay after school on Wednesday to practice on my Bassoon etude for District/All State Band. But after a while I stop and join my section for the last ten minutes. xD

I live in Georgia so the practices are either over 100degrees or it's a thunderstorm. Yes, we even practice in the storm. The woodwinds put their instruments up and the brass still have to play.

We usually practice for three hours before we go march a show. I think it's dumb because we're all tired and we have bad shows.
Our director is retiring soon and the assistant is changing the way everything is done.

We have a thing called pre-band camp where we dothe basic forward, backwards and things like that from july 14 to 18 at 9 ing the morning to 3 in the afternoon. Then that sunday we leave for band camp for a week, and there, we march all day, from bout 6AM to 9PM, with a three hour break in between that time and the meals. Then we go back to school and start instanly. We go outside during class on mondays, wendsdays, and fridays, and on Tuesdays we march after schoolo from 6-8, and thursdays, we march after school from 3:30-5, so we march every day of the marching season. Its exaughting, but i love evry minuet of it!

D: You only have one day of 12 hours? Lucky. We have 12 hours every day of band camp, and 3 days the second mini-camp...We just finished mini-camp, it was exhausting. >_<
