If you are in a marching band: What fun activities have you done with your band? Ex. Hi My name is Joe?

Question

I am trying to find fun activities that my band can use to help promote fun activities as well as bond the group. Any suggestions would be helpful. Any different stretches, etc.

Answer 1

The flute section did the thing where you're like;

"My name is 'Joe' and you know what I got?"

[rest of section]"What do you got?"

"I got a section that's hotter than hot."

"How hot is hot?"

"Batman vs. Superman. If they can't do it, then [insert other person's name here] can!"

And then that person does it.

It goes on forever and gets really annoying, but we used it to pass the time when we were supposed to be having "pep talks" after we warmed up at competitions.

At one of our last officer meetings, we started talking about seniors buying the lowerclassmen in their section lunch on a day of band camp, or having a day that your entire section ate lunch together, exclusively.  To promote a sort of, your section is your family, thing.

The first week of band camp, we have a drill off thing where they shout out random things like dress center and left slides and whatnot. You mess up, you're gone.[on the sidelines, of course].

Answer 2

i remember doing circle drill with parachutes when i was a sophmore in high school,....real fun!!!

Answer 3

we have spirit days for every day of the week during band camp. example: superhero day, hawaiian day, freshman appreciation day, and many more. and for the drill we would make up names for them by what they look like. we do so many more things also.

Answer 4

well when i was in marching band, my directors would make us do silly activities during our long exercises.

Like sometimes we would act like we were on a motorcycle and make the noises and than other times when we did arm circles we would sing a song that was designed just for it.

I'd have to say, Just create games to make it more interesting.

Also another thing we did during band camp was we had spirit day for a week where we'd like dress up for one day or the other day we'd wear a certain color and compete to see who would get the prize at the end of the day

Answer 5

My band director always does an awesome job in getting the band aquainted with one another...

one of my favorites is two truths and 1 false.

we all go around , say our name and give to three statements about ourselves, one being false. the person next to us has to guess which one is the lie.

it's really fun, and we get to learn a lot about each other...
