2013 Kick Off Camp

Today was the official kick off day for band camp! We all worked on basic techniques and warm ups that we'll be doing during the show season. At the very end of the day we did a show and tell with the winds, pit, drumline and cymbals. It was really cool seeing the drummers that show what they've been working on during some of their summer practices that they did. The band overall looks in great shape for the busy and fun season that's coming ahead.

The pit kids working on their scales and their technique.

The cymbal line practicing good technique to move those 18 inch cymabals.

Some of the mellophones practicing on the technique and warm ups that the winds received this morning.

The lowheads being well, low heads!
