Okay, I'm going to be inactive a bit as I go to my Marching Band's training thing known as "Hell Week", especially because I have to stay 5 hours under the hot sun burning and roasting like a baked potato. This will last for 4 days, and right after that I'm going to be heading to Band Camp for 5 days. That means no internet, crappy shacks, music and marching training, and horrible food that makes the most of the band bring cup noodles themselves. Anyways, I won't be on so much for the next week. Hope you guys don't miss me!

Hm, a little late to be having band camp.
My brother had to go through that hell, but at least he wasn't exposed to the August sun.

LOL I SO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!
I went though the same thing all four years. A week of hotness on astroturf which just makes things hotter.
9 Hours of practice each day, sometimes 10. 3 hours in the morning, an hour of sectionals, 3 hours in the afternoon, then 3-4 hours at night.

Ah good times
110 degree weather, 3 hour practices three times a day with only 1 5 minute break.
Getting yelled at (basically what tomates says)
...Glad that's over with :D
Good luck

Our school specifically haves Band Camp end at the day right before school starts. >_> And Hell Week before that. So lame sometimes.

Thanks Uso!
I'm kind of happy that there are users here who have or experienced Marching Band, but you guys are so lucky for having it earlier. D: Gotta go now.

Your band camp is a little easier. 10 hours of torture for 5 days for me.

I have the same thing. Last 2 weeks I've had to get up at 6 and leave for the field at 7 to re-learn how to march cause of all the freshmen. Marching for 6 hours in the Texas heat is not fun. Luckily though, this week is 4-8 pm and 2 hours will be inside practicing stand tunes.~

Well, it's been a tiring week(thank goodness it wasn't that hot) but I'm finally done with Hell Week. Tomorrow, however, is the day I leave for Band Camp. So I'll be gone for 5 days. D: Hope you guys don't miss me!

You'll be fine!! :D
My band camp was July 12-16, 8-6. On asphalt. <3
We would stay inside for about 2~3 hours in the middle of the day though.

We stay inside for like 5 hours learning our field show. Then it's lunch and free time, then moar music practice until dinner. We then do some Marching Band practice and do our daily activity for then night. Since we do our Band Camp at a campground site, there's not really a Football field to do some sets and stuff. :l What's sad is that cabins in the campground for boys are literally shacks, and girls get nice, comfy lodges with carpets and such.
