2nd Week of Band Camp (Recap)

After a hot, exhausting week of 8 to 5's, the band was able to successfully learn the drill for the entire show, and memorize the first song. Congratulations to all! This next week, we will be focusing on refining the music, and learning to effectively shape the sound of our band onto the field. Keep up the good work!
