VIVA! band camp!!1

Hi.

I will write about the first day of my wonderful band camp!

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9

10:30am Gr.12 Band students load truck

(Grade10, grade11 and choral students took classes till period 2. I am in grade 11, but I am taking band30 too. So I helped loading truck. We carried about 200 students' luggage and sleeping bags, so I was a little tired)

11:40am All campers get their instruments and put them on the truck

12:15pm Load buses.

12:30pm Bus departs. Bag lunch on bus

1:45pm arrival at camp

(Actually, I guess we arrived there after 1:45am...)

And we carried luggage and sleeping bags to the lobby.

It took long time, so we were gonna our own rooms and have a break for one hour, but we couldn't.

As soon as we left our luggage to our own rooms, we had to set up rehearsal spaces.

3:00pm Set up of rehearsal spaces

(We had four rooms to play instruments or sing. For Gr.10, Gr.11. Gr.12 band and choral. We sat up chairs and music stands then)

3:30pm I joined "Symphonic band" practice.
