At my school, we begin marching in August from 7 in the morning to 12 noon, and I live in Texas, so it's HOT!!! The percussion kids continue on until about 3 or 4 (9 hours! eek )
During school, we rehearse from 3 till 5:30 every day except Wednesday, and then we have our games on Friday, so we don't even go home that day.

Tiring, but I love every minute (hour) of it! xd

So, anyone else have a ridiculous practice schedule?

June-August - 7am-9pm. Then sleep on the bus to our next housing location.

We have our first "practices" starting in May every Thursday for two hours, which are just the beginning, getting to know everyone and get the basics, practices, those go till June. Then we don't techinically start until August with band camp, then we have practice monday, wednesday, and friday until school starts. After that we practice every day for about 2 hours and on Saturdays for probably 7-8 hours.

After band camp, the first couple of practices are from 8-11, then once school starts, it's 3-6 every Tuesday & Thursday with the occasional practice on Saturday. But that might change due to having a new director and all.

I guess our band gets off pretty easy. We pratice during our band period in the fall, so about 45 minutes every day.

in late May/ early June we have a 3 day camp which is from 8-12 AM, then in mid August until school starts its from 8-12 then 4:30-8:30PM. Once school starts, it's every day from 3:15-5:15 (though it's actually 3-5:30), and sometimes we go to Mercer stadium near here, from 4 to 6:30.

Ours aren't too bad.

Band Camp in late July or early August at our high school from 8am to 5pm daily [with sufficient breaks].

Then a weekly practice from 7pm - 9pm [usually on Monday or Tuesday] through October.

And during class every afternoon once school starts. Which is about an hour every day.

This year I think we'll be starting earlier though. Once the seniors leave at the end of the month, I think we're gonna start working on it during class for next year.
