Band Camp Day 2 & 3
So the internet connection didn't appear last night for us to update the blog, so here's a run down on what has happened.
Day 2
Sunday morning everyone was awake for breakfast at 7:30am, our magic food ladies worked their wands over a fry-up.
After breakfast it was straight into warm-ups and stretches ready for a full run through at 9:30am. After the first run through of the day we them moved onto a music section where we worked on dynamics for the whole show before working on 2 parts of the show for any visual issues.
Once again the magic food ladies had a ploughman's lunch ready for us at 1pm. During lunch we watch the recording of the full run through we had done at the start of the day. Everyone was able to look at their individual errors and were able to comment on their feelings about the show.
After lunch we were back onto the field for stretches, then onto another full run through before working on the other parts of the show before our final run through of the day at 5:50pm.
Dinner was sweet and sour chicken with rice followed by cheesecake, during dinner we played the video of the first full run through of the weekend and the final run through of the day. All the members commented on how much the show had improved.
After dinner everyone had some free time before lights out at 11pm (ish).
Day 3
After our continental breakfast it was on to warm-ups and drill before section warm ups ready for the first full run through of the day. We worked on a few sections of the show where members were having problems with their drill.
As the parents started to arrive they were shown the video of the first run through on Saturday before they watched the final performance of the show.
So now it's the end of camp, everyone is tired and heading for home, some much needed sleep, and some time to think back and remember all the hard work and effort that has gone into our show.

Band Camp Day 1
So it's the end of the first day and everyones looking tired, we've had dinner and they are all settling down for a team building activity. We've worked on all the parts of the show and done 2 complete run throughs.
The run throughs were videoed so the members could look at the progress they are making and could comment on ways they can improve their individual performance. They all know what they have to work on and they are all in a positive mood. Lets see how long that lasts with little sleep over the weekend.
The internet connection around the campsite is very hit and miss, we will continue to update this blog if we can.

Programme Selling
Last night saw us selling programmes for the Uckfield Bonfire & Carnival Society, who will be marking the start of the 2009 Sussex Bonfire & Carnival Season on the 5th September.
We split into two groups and managed to sell 150 programmes.
We help sell programmes each year as well as taking part in both the afternoon and evening parades through the town.
Money raised through the selling of programmes, collections and fundraising by UBCS is donated each year to local groups and charities.
