-- Posted by Hep at 7:27 pm on June 3, 2008 Alright, the percussionists of our marching band have to go to a special camp for one week to get set on and instrument and stuff. It goes for 3 straight hours each day with no brakes at all. Well, today was only the second day and I am bleeding from 3 places (cymbals), my back is absolutely killing me, and my arms are in great pain. Any of you ever done drum camp? If not then you need to. Yes, yes I am a whiney little bitch. -- Posted by alastrxxna at 7:28 pm on June 3, 2008 I think my boyfriend went to drum camp... heard it was br000000tal -- Posted by SgtPatches at 7:29 pm on June 3, 2008 poor baby, I'm in band camp for 9 hours straight, from 8-5. -- Posted by JudeLaurence at 7:30 pm on June 3, 2008 It's brutal yes, but a solid percussion section is vital to any marching band. Take solace in the fact that when other new kids start normal band camp, you'll already be well adjusted. :) -- Posted by jessica20110 at 7:31 pm on June 3, 2008 We don't have saxophone camp -- Posted by Hep at 7:34 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from SgtPatches at 10:29 pm on June 3, 2008 poor baby, I'm in band camp for 9 hours straight, from 8-5. our band camp is 9 to 4 (i think) in july/august -- Posted by PaintPens at 12:36 pm on June 6, 2008 HAH...3 hours? thats nothing. try drum corps. -- Posted by BlurredMemory at 6:23 pm on June 7, 2008 I had guard camp all this week 8-5 and our percussion had the same hours as us this week. I am sorta sore but I don't complain it's my 3rd year so i'm used to bruised up hands and legs. -- Posted by Tru7h004 at 7:04 pm on June 7, 2008 I'm doing it this year, first week from 8am-5pm, second week from 8am-9pm.  I get to play tenors this year so my back should be feeling great after all this. -- Posted by foreign lauren 2 at 7:42 pm on June 7, 2008 my school has that too but im not on drum line
