Band Camp
In the first week of band camp, the rookies are taught the basics of
marching technique and Mr. Schulz determines whether or not the officers are
capable of fulfilling their duties. The first week's purpose is to root out those
rookies who are not capable of handling marching band. In the second week,
the band begins setting and preparing our halftime show. We use this week to
get a head start in our preparations for the Florida Bandmaster's Association's
marching assessment. Band camp is used to determine if the rookies are ca-
pable of handling band camp and to give us as much time to prepare our show
in the hopes of achieving a "superior" rating at the FBA marching assessment.

routine. There are usually about ten other teams at camp and you get to know
all of these girls when they are in the same level as you. Dance camp is just a Top: Rachel Butler and Haley Hyde in
