    WHAT WILL I DO AT BAND CAMP?

d

    1) Play your instrument, A LOT!  Make sure you practice over

       the summer so you can still play at band camp!

    2) Learn/Remember how to march and march and play

       simultaneously

    3) Work in sectionals to unify articulations, intonation and style

       and memorize music as a group

    4) Learn Drill (how to find your spots so the band makes cool

       pictures on the field)

    5) Put together as much as possible of our field show.

       Remember, the more we learn in band camp, the better we do

       at state.

    6) Make TONS of friends and feel like you accomplished

       something really important (because you did)!

    WHAT DO I NEED FOR BAND CAMP?

s

    1) Your Instrument in Good Working Order.  This means that

       your reeds should be broken-in and your slides should be

       moving smoothly.

    2) A Lyre and a Flip Folder for holding music.  Flutists will need

       the arm-strap type.  They are readily available and very

       affordable at Graner Music stores.

    3) A 1/2" 3-Ring Binder to use on the field as your set book.

    4) PENCILS! PENCILS! PENCILS! PENCILS! PENCILS! PENCILS!

    5) Cool, light-colored clothing

    6) Hats, Sunglasses, Shades

    7) Tennis/Athletic Shoes - ABSOLUTELY NO SANDALS OR

       OPEN-TOED SHOES! Blisters will not be an excuse.

    8) SUNSCREEN!

    9) Water Bottle - A large water cooler and cups are provided

       for students, but it is acceptable to bring your own bottle.

    10) Towel - Incase of rain and to set your horn on - the turf

        can get pretty hot in early August.
