Day 1 - Band Camp 2007

Well, it was not as sizzling hot as it's been in years past during band camp. This morning was quite pleasant while the sun stayed behind the clouds and allowed the kids to really get some good work done. Mr. Stough, our director, Rachel Phillips, Color Guard Coordinator, and Kevin Morrison, Visual Coordinator, were all keeping the kids on task! Our drink crew, Elizabeth Staten, Judy Rittenour, my hubby, Gary, and myself were there making sure the kids stayed hydrated by providing Gatorade and ice water. Also, thanks to Mrs. Rittenour for providing the mist fans.

The kids worked hard setting drill all morning, then after lunch, broke into sectionals and then back again on the field by 2:45 p.m. to work more drill with instruments this time!

Below are pictures and a video. REMEMBER parents, each day of camp BUILDS on the day before!!! The video may sound a little "rough around the edges" but it is AWESOME for the FIRST DAY of band camp! We are so proud of all of you kids!

See you bright and early in the morning...and don't forget your sunscreen!!! We saw alot of red little faces out there today!
