Not So Wordless Wednesday – Marching Band Week 2

posted in family, kids |

aug 9 2010

This is week 2 of the high school marching band camp. Last week was just the freshman (my daughter included) and this week the upperclassmen, drill team and color guard have all joined in. The temperatures remain in the 100’s, today it is supposed to be 105. It’s been absolutely crazy! My daughter is doing really well with the marching and is only freaking out about having to memorize the music. I know she will get done what she needs to get done, but she is a perfectionist and puts a lot of pressure on herself. Next week should be easier, they do the camp in the evenings instead, giving her the entire day to work on her music.

By the way, there are over 600 kids out on this field. Sorry about the photo quality, it’s taken with my phone and looking into the sun.

    I remember when my best friend was in marching band and had to practice in the hot heat of August. Brutal! I’m always amazed at how many students are willing to be in marching band. It’s a LOT of work! I love hearing and watching the bands at halftime though. Very entertaining!

    I hope she enjoys being in the band. My son is also hard on himself and wants his trumpet playing to be perfect.
