  1. In the opening days of full band camp, it was amazing to see the skill level of the combined new and experienced marchers.  I predict that with being this far along so early, the TECHNICAL SKILLS RATING at competitions will be outstanding!  Look out for some good scores!

  18. "Okay so Marching Band is over. And as a freshman I must say I loved it! I'm definetly doing it next year and hopefully all throughout high school. I have a lot of good memories in marching band but my favorite one was of the last Thursday marching rehearsal. It was a cold day and it was dark and depressing considering that now we knew that the seniors were leaving. So imagine our surprise when instead of freezing cold water we got hot chocolate! It was some of the best hot chocolate I've ever had and I thank you loading crew so much for bring all of our equipment down and for giving us water ever single day!"
