High School:
Camp was two weeks in August, from 8-4 on Monday-Friday, with lunch breaks and water breaks every couple hours.
Practice shifted around, but it was about 8-10 hours a week. We didn't do too bad at our exhibitions. I'm not sure what it's like anymore, though. Run-throughs before every game weren't a given every game, depending on the time.
College:
Camp is 5 days, with a first year day the day before where the freshmen learn marching techniques with some of the upperclassmen (our style is different from most high schools). The schedule at camp is about 8am (ish) to about 10pm (ish), with all meals provided for us by the campus we take over, and a 1 AM curfew.
Practice is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 5:45-8. It's not always set in stone. If there's no game that week, we take Friday off. If we're having a dry spell of games, we take off Monday and Friday. Midterms we only have one day. Practices also can end earlier or later depending on how we're doing.

Well we had easy, only music practices during the summer every Thursday for a couple hours... THEN in the last two weeks of summer (still going on) we have Marching Band Camp which is Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Then during school we have practice every day from 2:30-5:00... I think... 3nodding

Band camp is two weeks this year (first week ends today) First week is marching, 8-12, every day. The reason it stops at 12 is because if you went any longer people would pass out from the heat. Next week is wind rehearsal, 3-8 I do believe. With breaks every hour or so I think.
Normal practices run from 6-8:30 or 9. Plus we go outside or play music for an hour very day in class, plus a one hour sectional once a week on Monday or Wenesday (section leader decides) So Around eleven to twelve hours in a normal week, plus pre-football game and competition stuff.

Well, our normal band practices consist of 8:30 AM to 12 PM (one hour break) then 1 PM to 3:30 PM. But, since I'm in drumline, we go from 4 PM to 6 PM afterwards every tuesday and thursday.
Then during indoor drumline, we have 5 PM to 9 PM tuesdays and thursdays. Occasionally we'll get the 20 hour rehearsals D:

We had our band camp last week. The freshmen (including me....) had to arrive 3 days before everyone else and do lots of basics practice. For three days. That was all we did from 8 in the morning until 10 at night, except for the, like, 3 hours of music rehearsal that we had.
During band camp, we went with 6 hours of drill a day, then 3 hours of music rehearsal. I think. Maybe it was five.... no, three. We went from 8 until 10 again. Up and down hills, stairs, and marching at a very torturous 176 beat backwards. A lot. crying But it's so worth it. THe show is going to be amazing! 3nodding
Now that classes have started, we only have practice 2 hours a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Starting in May this year we had practice every week for 3 hours, plus 1 Saturday rehearsal from 9-3 (1 hour lunch). Then our band director decided to give use off most of July, which turned out for the best considering we have an end of the season sound and the end of band camp...
Anyway, then we had two 3 hour practices the last week of July then first full week of August we had 8-5 (45 minute lunch, which ended up getting extended becasue our director was happy) every day, then the second week it was 8-12 then 5:30-9 everyday and this last week before school we had practice Tuesday, Wednesday (today) and Thursday 5:30-9.
When school starts we have practice 5:30-8:30 (I think) on Monday and Thursday, then of course we practice before football games (Few people go home) then practice all day on Saturday or Sunday leading up to a competition usually starting at 8 or 9
Plus we have sections every 4 weeks and 45 minutes in school everyday
Come the 3 weeks of championships we have practice 5:30-8:30
