Like the title says

How many shows does your band do a year? What i mean is several differnt halftime shows which means learning a drill every week or every other week.

I've always been in bands that do several shows a year it's cool but you dont have time to sharpen them so you have to learn fast and make it good.

We just have one field show and that's it. Sometimes they pull parts out and redo quite a huge chunk, but there's no multiple fieldshow type of thing.

Takes us about a month and a half or so to learn drill. First 2 weeks is usually spent on basics and teaching freshmen, work on music. We usually have most of the first movement done by the end of band camp, but sometimes there's like a few sets missing at the end. Our typical show has anywhere from 60-90 sets, it depends on what year and how long the music is. Freshman year for me was really long, last year was really short.

Same here, were ussualy at 70ish. we do a week of FUNdementas stare then a week of camp doing the whole drill then we go to school and rough it out about 1 drill/week so 3rd week of school we have 1st football game.
