What was your first day of band camp like as a freshmen?

Question

I play the flute. I am a Freshmen now. My first day I was scared to go alone so I brought my friend with me so I didn't have to walk in by myself. My camp started Monday the 4th. Which was this Mon-Fri. And then Mon-Fri the next week. Then Tue & Thur the week after that. The first game is the 22 and I am kinda nervous.Because the first day i was with 1 sophmore, 3 juniors, and a senior. And I was the only Freshmen. So I was kinda mad my friends both went to trumpet. But its all good now. I stand by a senior and a junior and they are pretty nice to me. And I have to ask why do like all guys look good in hats? Like baseball caps. lol.

Answer 1

I play the flute too, and i was a freshman last year.  Actually, it wasn't very scary for me...  You see, we have a rather large band, (like at least 20 of each instrument) and my most my friends joined marching band, so I already knew a lot of people.  Also, i have an older brother, whose friends all knew me too.  Also,in my school, we had a mini-band camp at the end of our 8th grade year, where we basically got our music to practice over the summer, and given a little introduction.  So, as you can see, it wasn't too scary.  It was more the fact of not knowing what to expect.  Our band camp is set up the same way, Mon-Fri (and actually, it starts this monday, the 11th), for 2 weeks.  It's held at our school, in the auditorium, and outside on the feild.

The one thing that I remember about my first year at band camp was the temperature... In mid-August, it was soooooooooo hot outside, then, the auditorium had air-condition set to, like, negative 50 degrees!  I honestly had to bring a sweat shirt!   lol!  

anyways, good luck with band!

Answer 2

I play flute too. :) My first day of band camp was yesterday because as a freshmen I had a fever all week and couldn't go. I'm hoping this year marching season is better for me because last year I had no idea what was going on.

Guys look good in hats because that's what were used to seeing so we automatically love it. :)
