:earseek: Oh no!! :eek:

Well.....

I've got about a million band camp stories, but they're all either not suitable to write here, or not really all that funny :rolleyes:

Hmm......Well this one time at band camp, a bloke fell in a river? (Oh the hilarity :rolleyes: )

[SDAngel101]

LOL Suzi!!:p One time, at cheer camp, i had a girl's butt fall on my head because of a stunt gone bad LOL. Didn't hurt to much, but at least the flyer didn't get hurt.

one time at soccer camp we had to go outside and run drills at 2:00 in the morning because they caught us out of bed doing freshmen initiation.

ugh...i leave next sunday for band camp.:(

since i'm only a sophomore, i really don't have any funny band camp stories. just stupid ones. :p like last year all the older guys went into the freshman cabin one night w/ shaving cream and stuff...except they were dumb enough to shine flashlights directly into the chaperones' faces. Duh!:rolleyes:

hopefully i'll get some better stories this year...

I have been trying to think of other band camp storied... Here is one.... Every year all the freshman get dance cards and they have to dance with 5 seniors. well my freshman year this one guy made me dance with him for 3 min. HE TIMED IT!

I have another question... what do you all do at camp... what ever one it is... We...

All have to be there by 4 the first day. Then dinner. Next its orientation. then Symphonic. then you get free time then sleep!

The next 5 days are..
7:00 am up and breakfast
8:15 to 10 marching
10:30 to 12 Symphonic
12:15 to 1 lunch
1:30 to 3:15 marching
3:15 to 5 break
5:00 to 6:00 Dinner
6:30 to 8:30 Symphomic
then rech till 11 but they have dances 2 nights and you get to bed midnigh to 1 pm

The last day we clean and march and have a show and GO HOME!

you all?

For my band camp, we leave on sunday at noon or something and get there by dinner time. then we eat dinner and march from 6-9, then and evening activity. curfew is at 10:30. the rest of the week it's:
6:30- wake up (this is earlier than last year:()
7:30- stretch and eat breakfast
8:30- music for about an hour, then marching
noon- lunch
1:00- sectionals and music memorization
3:00- music rehearsal (you dont have to go to this if you already have your music memorized)
4:00- free time
5:00- dinner
6:00- marching
9:00- evening activity
10:30- curfew
11:00- lights out

then on friday we pack, practice the whole show once or twice, go home, eat dinner, and do a show for our parents.

band camp is next week...i am so not looking forward to it!:(

11: Ensemble playing
1: Lunch
2: We'd have an excursion, to a castle or the market or something.
5: Orchestra playing
7: Dinner
8: We put on a concert
10: We'd do more ensemble playing, or (most often) just sit by the river and chat.
12: Bed

Oooh.....I miss it, it was so much fun!! :)

woah! we don't actually go to camp! lol

we just go to school from 8-1 like every day until school starts!

and we usually just learn the first song by the time school starts

I can't actually imagine going to camp...but this year some days we have double pratice days! :mad: last year they said they wouldn't do that b/c wanted us to have some time to ourselves before school started but all our compition is doing it so I guess we have to also espically since it's a state year! :eek:

one time, at soccer camp, we locked a freshman in the bathroom. Ha ha, that was funny. Then when one kid unlocked it, he didn't go out because he was dropping a duece.
