@@Paige-m6cI recommend that you go so you can at least learn the show (Im speaking for experience here). It will make learning different parts of the show a little easier :)
this was so helpful! I'm in color guard going to be a sophomore and I joined color guard during winter season so this will be my first marching season! I'm super excited!
I’m in 6th going into 7th this year I’m a rooking marching band player and I was not at all prepared for marching band so when I started camp this Monday I almost threw up and yesterday I was so worn out I didn’t want to even go but today when I wore my Sousa I could march with without it hurting me other than when we went inside and I had to stand for like 4 hours
I’m in 8th grade playing with a high school band so I’m scared I’m starting band camp August 8th I’m playing snare should I do anything before to get ready for it.
@@SPEAKERBOX2008 I’ll just answer this in case no one else does :)) but it’s pretty good! I mean you get really nervous but they’re pretty chill and understand if you mess up and give you pointers (from my experience) there can be kids that get in your nerves but honestly I get along with everyone, so it’s good for me so far.
Mine starts on the 25th and it’s stressful because it’s hot and it’s from 8-5 for 2 weeks. And I’m not a social person. I’ve been last year and I wish I looked it up then because it was torment. Ours is luckily on a field because we have one for football and marching band and usually practicing around the same time. The heat and your feet hurting is the worst part
Mines start on the 11th and it will be stressful and i’m not a social person either. but you will make at least two good friends that will make it so much fun being there.
im going to be a freshman this year i do percussion and this summer i am going to start band camp thanks for making this video im so nervous but excited 😭
You should have mentioned preparing your arms for holding bells up, because they are usually strict about that. Also work on your legs before hand so you can keep your legs up for high stepping
@@lapreciousdiary at our trumpet sectionals we do workouts. We also did workouts when I did color guard. We didn't do workouts when I did clarinet tho, I do not think it is very necessary for clarinet tho
@@lapreciousdiary at camp we mainly do stretches(as a whole group(this is my senior year)(and we actually leave for camp tomorrow morning(I am so excited))) but some of the stretches could be considered strengthening exercises, but not workouts
Thank you so much this really helped me this is going to be my first band camp and I don’t really have any friends to hang out with so I’m really nervous and my mom just now told be today that band camp starts tomorrow.
@@lapreciousdiary its day 4 and we're already working on our pregame show!! Thanks for the advice in the video it helped me a lot My shoulders hurt so bad but it's definitely worth it
Bro as a trumpet who just moved and is going to be a freshman this year I’m so scared 😭! Mine starts July 24. I’ve never marched before I’m so nervous?? Like will they teach me or am I just supposed to know 💀.
@@lapreciousdiary update! I’m going be a section leader my sophomore year! I’ve also made 4th chair honor band and got silver at state for my solo! This video was so helpful thank you so much 😁❤️
Im gonna be an 8th grader playing with the marching band AND IM GONNA MISS THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCHING BANDDDD 😭😭😭😭😭😭 AND I SUCK AT PRACTICEING BY MY SLEFFFF IM DOOMED
Im starting my very first band camp tomorrow and im freaking out because my insomina has been affecting be bad lately, i havent been going outside at all really, and I should have practiced more even though i was busy. (My mammaw had surgery to fix her back and someone tried off their self) 😭😭😭 help-
Don't freak out, I been in a similar situation. Please try to go outside! even if its for 10 minutes. Also drink plenty of water before band camp, that would be helpful so you won't pass out. also sorry about your mammaw! I'm sure she appreciate your help, but now its time to focus on your health so you can be prepare for camp. also Ik insomnia is something you can't fix but please try your best to get as much sleep as you can. you got this!
@@n00bdle Hi!! i’m not gonna lie. i just take deep breaths and hope for the best, but please don’t do that. just breathe normally, focus on the air that you’re exhaling and don’t lock your knees. Goodluck!😊

Oh man I’m screwed 💀
No your not! Think about in a good way so it won’t be as bad 😭
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
is band camp only a school thing or can you join one outside of school?
In my experience it has been a school thing. but I believe there are groups outside of school people could join!
I start tomorrow 😅
That’s exciting!!💕
Are you still in band?
I graduate this year, so not in my high school band anymore. But I will be joining my college marching color guard!
@@lapreciousdiary Are you gonna vlog the experience and band camp?
