Question for those of you who been through August Camp

[CajunVic]

Well, I was in camp Bunkie 78-79. The tuba players had it rough AF. I was a saxophone player (phenomenal, btw) we certainly endured the dust and the heat, but our instruments were light compared to the brass. The flute players had it so easy. In fact there were evenings after supper that they enjoyed practicing so much, some of us would walk back into the wooded area behind camp with them. We were there for encouragement. Ill tell you what, not one of those young ladies stopped practicing until we all agreed that they had given there all. I have fond memories of camp.

Bunkie band camp! We weathered a hurricane there 1 year and lost power for 2 of the days. Marched in the slop afterward.
Can u imagine if something like that happened today? It would be national news and parents would have a class action lawsuit.
I don’t think a single parent picked their kid up. The 80’s was a simpler time

Believe me when I tell people that we’re getting softer all the time. That’s probably a good thing too. There’s no way I’d have let my kids do what was common in my high school years.

According to coach Des the recorded data over the last 5 years says this year they are going harder than ever as a team.

They scrimmaged at 2:45 PM last Saturday afternoon. Not sure that was a safe thing to do considering the heat we are all dealing with. I would suggest 7 PM.
