Welcome to Band Camp, a place of tradition. The tradition enacted on this Thursday, as on many previous Thursday nights of past Camps, was Senior speeches. At the end of the 11-12 school year we will graduate 34 seniors from the marching mustangs alone. Those observant readers will have noticed a considerably later post tonight than the last few evenings. 34 senior speeches do take up a lot

There is just 1 day left of band camp, and for me, it went by quickly. However, I'm sure that the band feels differently for I haven't been in the sun for 13 hours a day.....

Usually, the DGS marching band relys on the Dr. Beat to which is the machine that keeps tempo for everyone, or metronome, until at least the beginning of September. The Dr. Beat is important because it is an audible reminder to keep our feet moving at the

Hey everyone! Today the guard accomplished a lot! We finalized the production part of our show by adding more dance and more stick work. It's a little rough now but it should be getting progressively better. We put our ballad together for the first time tonight and it's looking really great. I'm so beyond excited to see how this show is going to turn out. The final touches keep making it look

Yes, the 8 to 5 work and step size lifestyles are similar indeed. Wednesday went slowly, and as we attempted to tackle slow and difficult marching and drill, it was as though we were scaling a hill. But the foundations of this band, let me

Welcome all readers to day two of camp! Two things today stuck out personally and made today a very special time. Number one, the weather was perfect. Simply gorgeous out on the field, and even more so in the shade. It was summer-y and warm but not too hot to do work, it was sunny, but with some scattered cloud cover, I remarked at lunch that it was very good. Secondly, as Drum Major one of

Today we completed our opener by ending with a great flag feature that is looking really good. We also began working on our soloist Becca Swick's solo in the "production" part of the show.

Hey Everyone,I'm Maddie Snyder and Im the sousaphone section leader in the Marching Mustangs. If one word could sum up todays events, Im pretty sure "long" would do just fine. Im always suprised how school and band camp always make the hours in the day grow longer. I guess it comes out of all the hard work we do, because today we actually learned about 9 pages of drill or so. Maybe even more.

Day one of DGS Marching Mustangs Band Camp 2011 is upon us and I assume that many other members of the band have been scrambling around with their parents trying to find the bug-spray, sweatshirt and other marching band necessities. That's just me? Okay... Anyways I don't think that the band could be more blessed with the weather this week (apart from a little bit of rain) for two reasons.
