One time at band camp...

...3 kids got heat stroke and one had to go to the hospital. Well not really but kids have fainted at band camp before. Band camp for most bands is the week before school starts(the hottest week here in Florida) and it is intence. At Cypress Bay, percussion has a week worth of "mini camp" which is 1-9pm. Then all summer there is 3 hour practices every day twice a week. Towards the end of the summer, there is a one week percussion camp also 1-9pm and then finally at the end of the summer, there is band camp. Band camp is a week long 9am-9pm series of practices. In the heat. I think the term should be "band athlete" instead of "band nerd". Watch this video if you have never heard about what band does and what we do to train for the show we perform.

Mrs. Stoklosa, if you don't watch any of my videos(I do have a lot) at least watch this one its really interesting.
