Band Camp Wrap Up!

Band Camp went amazingly well! We sound great, look great, and are in great spirits. Friday and Saturday were very hot. We hydrated every 20 minutes during the rehearsal with the famous "gush and go." We are continuing to "build a dynasty" which will be very obvious to everyone when we open up our new season. The student leaders were amazing! The outstanding section award went to the battery percussion and the most improved section went to the colorguard, who are now moving more than ever, covering more of the field than they did in past years. The sound effects are great as well. I, as the director, am so proud of everyone involved in the program, from the staff, to the parents, and the most important of all, the band members. The drum majors were outstanding, the officers were incredible, and the freshman class is marching and playing like they are upper classmen. We cannot wait to show you what we have on Saturday, September 8th at Mineola. We will be performing with Mineola for all the parents in what we are calling the "Pre-Comp Romp and Chomp". We will perform for the parents and each other in a casual setting, wearing jeans and t-shirts and then eat together. It is a great way for us to bond with the other band that is in our class on Long Island this year. Thanks to everyone for a great band camp!
