Band Camp 2011

Another successful band camp is in the books. We finished yesterday at 5:00pm with pregame learned, the halftime music sounding strong, and three rehearsals next week to do some polishing and finishing touches. A special thanks to our alum Alec who spent the week with the percussionists getting them prepped on cadences. Another big thank you to the four band moms who served dinner on Wednesday and helped with uniform distribution.

Congrats to the trumpets, who won the march-by competition, and to the flutes, who won the spirit contest. Zack B won the individual march-off, with Kiley and Josh K as runners-up. Jon W was the rookie champ.

The great news is that we will be marching 65 students this year! I have to go back through my records, but it's been several years since we've had this many on the field. For the last two years, freshmen have joined in record numbers. That speaks a lot for the older students who have created such a positive community and enthusiasm surrounding the Warrior Marching Band. I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful students to work with.

Below are pictures from Thursday, when each section got to create their own pose. Enjoy, and we'll see you at the game Friday night!
