Whoa, my school musta been too cheap. I never even HEARD of band
camp in those days. Did they have it back then, or is that a newer thing?
(never than ME, anyway?)
We *did* play with the lyre/flip folder, even in parades. The band director
never once asked us to memorize anything.
The high school in the town I live in now, has the kids start practice a
full
month before the beginning of the school year, and they practice five
days a week, from 9am to 9pm. They memorize EVERYTHING. They
aren't even allowed to eat any sugar during that time, let alone
drugs...........

P.S. I just asked my husband, who went to school in upstate NY,
and he says they definitely had to memorize the music. Now I know the
truth. My school was cheap. :-(
