wow... haha. you guys actually stay the night for band camp?

Yeah, I always thought that was just in American Pie... we just have longish rehearsals at school.

Some go away for band camp. My HS and one I taught just had the longish rehearsals. But another HS I taught went to a nearby college and stayed in the dorms.

I got to eat free meals at the cafeteria!

Yea my high school goes out of state and lives on a college campus for a week of band camp, and it's crazy

The high school I played with and later taught went to a local conference and retreat center for a week every late July or early August. It's an amazing facility. It has a full 100 yard football field and a smaller 50 yard field, both of which are turf. The UC football team and band both hold there camps there. UC's athletic department paid for the fields just so that they could keep going there becasue it's so nice.

I forgot to mention that I really dig the composition of the photograph. Props to the photographer.

Amen to that. I found this to be funny in the "Im laughing with you" sense. I would have been pissed at first, but then I woulda found it to be hilarious.

Our band goes about 3 hours away for our band camp. We stay at a nice place with a nice field for practicing. Good times....

My high school is horrible with band camp. If you can even call it that. Its only a week from 8-4 and we dont even finish our field show.

Sounds like how my old high school was during band camp. Traditionally, the rookies would get shaving creamed twice unexpectedly, sat in front of a fan with the cover off, and shaving cream and food would be thrown into the fan...plastering their upper bodies. They all enjoyed it.
