your band camp works different from mine. My band camp is a day camp that meets at the school from 8am-noon, and than again from 4-8.

yes. it is tiring. 8hours out in the sun is very hard work. But at least I got a damn nice tan from it. Let me complain for a minute. We have two step intervals in a set, with a trombone player behind me. So that he doesn't hit me, he points his bell over my right shoulder. However, in the next page we jazz run fifteen yards in 16 counts to the left, which is very messy. I got hit in the head twice today by his trombone slide. I hurt.

Football practice is a lot harder..

Last year I was supposed to go to band camp but I couldnt get a ride so I didnt go. It was optional anyway.

band camp is a few days set apart that are for the marching band to learn how to march properly. Some schools have literal camps and others have day to day practice.

I do. It's actually is quite rewarding and a lot of fun. Band geeks aren't all that strange after all. Me, for example...

It matters how much you care about the sport. There was a guy in my math class who would brag about how easy football practice was for him, but I saw him practicing and he did censored.gif . He only got the position because of the politics involved.

Than there are my friends in band who put a lot of energy into marching band camp and go away absolutly exhausted in everyway. All band prgorams are different. Pomona (a school in my division that has won the past eigth years or something) requires their band members to take weight training, and they run laps and stuff.
