Last year I was a freshman, and marching band camp was like torture. It was hot, the hours were long, and we were worked to the bone. I totally hated marching until my first competition. (And then I totally fell in love with it :3) But now I'm a sophmore, and band camp doesn't seem as bad! Maybe it's that I know what to expect, and probably it's that now I'm a better marcher, but it's just funny that I'm not having as hard of a time when all the noobs are freaking out. cool

I don't miss my high school band camps at all. We practiced on a wide-open, dusty field, and the only relaxation we got was sitting on the scorching basketball court. It sucked pretty hard.

My college band camps absolutely rock. The weather is better, and it's an overnight camp. We get to bond and it's way more laid-back. I can't say everything we do though...they're secrets whee

Our band camp lasted 2 weeks, 9-5 the first week then 8-8 the second week. It was a nightmare, we have to practice on a parking lot the size of the football field and we rarely get breaks. That was 2 weeks ago now we've started our regular rehersals and so far it's just as bad.

Our band camp went more smoothly then expected considering the instructor change. (For the third time in two years... blah...) I didn't even expect him to be able to march. But he can. I guess those years he marched in the BSU marching band stayed with him...

But anyway our band camp was good. We found out the show changed... AGAIN! But it was actually sort-uh fun. We had a pirate day and a super-hero day. I dressed up like a ninja. ninja ^_^

i started marching band my eigth grade year, and all the rookies do an extra day of band camp. i thought i sucked, but i love marching now.
our hours are super long, from 9 to 1 then again from 5 to 9. you get really sore and tired, but when those competitions come and you're winning, it's really worth it.

I just finished my last band camp ever.
O:
Short hours this year, 7pm-9:30pm, only three days.
xD
Today's camp was cancelled because we're awesome and got our pre-game show down in 2 run throughs~
>w>
Our band camp is awesome. Last day we have unity games t earn points for our groups, and we always get grassy and muddy; funny when freshmen wear clothes they really like. xD

In June band camp is 9am to noon.

But in August we had,
The Band Camp Week.

8am-8pm.

The first two days were terrible, because it was 90 degrees with 100% humitity.
Then it rained and the tempature dropped about ten degrees. =]
Then it was fine.

Band camp was amazing. =]]]
I loved getting to meet up with people and see the looks on the freshmeat's faces. xD

But it was really hot and I kept dressing in t shirts and stuff. So then one morning I wear the most revealing, thinnest tank I could find. And of course that's the one day it was ******** freezing and I didn't have a jacket. xD
(But a really hot guy let me use his jacket for the morning block redface )

Yeah, experience is the best medicine for band camp.
It was awful my freshman year, too, but I'm a Junior now and I was all excited and peppy.
