Ok. So band camp for me is at school (sadly) a week before it starts. Then we practice every day 1st period (except on thursdays because that is an even day) and have thursday night practices starting at 6pm ending at 9pm. Usually, on Thursdays, there are sectionals before hand at around 5:30pm, until parade band starts and that takes its place. We also practice on Saturdays from 9am-2pm. Our guard has a little extra and also has practices on Monday nights from 5pm-9pm (I think. It may start at 6). The Saturday stuff changes a bit when we have competitions, but that is the basic jist of it. What is ur practice schedual like???

2 weeks of band camp, then it was mondays, tuesdays, thursdays, and fridays when we had home games. Weekends before we left for competition and then and hour and a half during 4 block everyday. And sometimes we had required sectionals from the end of school to practice.

We have a week of band camp (changed it to two weeks this year) from 9 to 1. The week before, we have a day of section leaders/drum majors and two with freshmen (9-12, I think). During school we have 2 hours of practice on Monday nights and probably about 30 min every day (sometimes it's closer to 45 min though). We have two or three Saturday practices (9-4, I think) and of course, random performances and sectionals.

Band Camp at my school started like almost 2 months before school started!!!
We would go in on tuesdays and thursdays from 9-12 in the morning or from 4:30-7:30at night!!!
But some of these were marching practices and the others were to help us learn the music
And then like a month before school started we had 3 straight days of nothing but marching fundamentals!!! they were from 8-12!!!
And then when school started we would have to come in at 7:30 and march til about 9:30
And then we would have evening practice on Monday from 6:30 to 9:30!!!
