Sue,
I know that you went to school at the same time I did but did not know that
our schools must have had a joint budget. We had no summer camp either. we
practiced our marching during 1st period by blessing the neighborhood with
our music at 8:00 AM. we only marched at a handfull of local parades and the
football games. We concentrated on the "end of school year concert" Marching
was secondary. We also received 45 minutes of private lessons each week with
the band director.
I am not sure rather or not a band camp would have helped us. Even as high
schoolers we would have had a hard time reckonizing a straight line while
marching. It was the 70's after all.
