[/caption]The Screaming Eagles Marching Band is putting in some long hours of rehearsal in preparation for the first home football game Saturday, Sept. 3. Band camp practice is intense from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. with a few scheduled breaks. Students will learn about 20 songs, practice band formations, work hard and have fun.
“It takes a lot of work to put a marching band together,” says Tammy Fisher, director of the marching band.
Each day of band camp has a theme. Monday is “Stoplight Day,” an ice breaker where students who are available wear green, those in a relationship wear red and those unsure wear yellow. Other days during the week include clash day, high school flashback day, sports day and section day.
