My innovation, a new idea which I piloted this year, was going with 5 drum majors. This is a great idea and now, with camp almost complete is a trend I believe will catch on all over the country! These 5 drum majors, Marissa, Jenn, Ashley, Lara, and Alexa were incredible this week, driving the band to success. Student leadership is crucial and our drum majors, officers, and captains are piloting this band to future success. Our entire student leadership team has driven this band to new levels!
Day 5 went incredibly well, as has all of band camp. We went through two thirds of the drill with music and wow, it sounds like one of the top bands in the state! The drill is great, with many moves which will blow everyone away. Breakfast was french toast and cereals, lunch was philly cheese steaks, and dinner was an incredible roast chicken meal. We did basics and drill in the morning, sectionals and ensemble in the afternoon, broke early for pool time at 4pm, and worked the music and drill, doing run throughs from 7pm to 9pm on the field. The kids walked off the field totally pumped about how great we are this year. We truly are building a dynasty which is apparent to everyone here at the camp. The night ended with skit and song night, where our new band anthem was sung!
