I am so beyond excited!! Band camp this summer will be my first real marching experience! Well, mostly. This year (as Freshmen) we were invited several times to play with the high school band at football games. And they let us march. (It was bad... we weren't even informed that we were going onto the field, it was more of a throwing us out there and telling us to try to follow the the real band. If ever there was a crash course in marching, that was it.) So, I've dipped my toes into marching (if you could call it that), and now I'm super ready to dive right in! I can't wait to meet my section (new family members), I can't wait to get my HEAD DRESS!!!, I can't wait to be a part of the real band, I can't wait to play our fight song and all of our other music, under those huge lights at football games.
Oh, yeah... I'm excited. I CAN NOT WAIT!!! YES!
I think I'm going to blog about my first band camp/marching band experience. Stay tuned. (except for all you clarinets, because that's not possible.) LOL

I'm trying out for DM, too, but I'm only a freshman this year, so I don't think it will work out . But I am trying out for section leader (with an actual chance of making it- there are no upperclassmen eligible but two clari/saxes the BDs don't particularly like) and I think trying out for DM will up my chances for sl because they know that I am really interested, and it will up my chances for being DM junior year.

Whatever....you can do anything you put your mind to. Good luck to all of the above...oh that first sentence was meant for you to laugh. I LOVE MARCHING BAND SO MUCH!!!!! I keep on posting on here but oh well. This will be my fourth year and I am so excited. It will be the best year yet and everyone else is ready. And true...like my bd says, every little thing you do or have done since the very first day you stepped into this band room has all been a test. That was a big factor into the dm auditions...what you have done in your past years to show you are either capable or not for that position. So whatever happens just remember they are always watching you.

My first REAL band camp comes in August. But we have pre-camp in July. Heck yes for college band, and new mellophones, and real drill, and people who actually want to be there!!! Not to mention, I think this is our year to play Michigan at the Big House.

You know you're in college band when you only need a week for camp, not a month. :-)

We have a week for band camp. This year we did EVERYTHING in band camp (which apparently is rare). At our first run-through at the end of camp for our parents and stuff, we actually got to march and play the entire thing(the fourth movement sucked, though). We do pre-camp practice, where we practice marching and we do some stuff with our show music, but that's it.
