Aaaaand.. this year is our trip year.. and we're going to Disney!!We are going to a festival in Gatlainburg, TN this year for our trip. I can't wait because it'll be my first!
Yay! Marching band camp week is over (for me at least!)...no more 8 hour days, and waking up at 7 =)
Ours was 7:30 - 5:30 everyday.
10 hours everyday beating serious heat!
and the fact that you have to memorize 4 pieces (at least in my band), moving to the precise spot from memory, and keeping up with the other bandmembers. marching band works your brain, and your body.
I agree and we also work like that too - moving spot to spot from memory. It takes a lot of effort, soul, and dedication to succeed in marching band.
What are all of your commonly used marching band terms?
Mark time
Forward, (march)
Back march
Slides (left/right)
Roll step
Shoulders square to the sidelines
(Our proper attention position)
You mean like sheet music link?
And ooooops I didn't mean All You Need Is Love... it's going to be Can't Buy Me Love lol.... so many love songs!
My bad
I meant a recording. That's fine. Recordings of anything work. I'll post mine soon.
