[@thatonedudewhodoesstuff334]

THANK YOU!!! I'm a nervous 8th grader who's about to go into marching band so thank you!

[@user-xt4st4cs2y]

Same, I'm yet to decide if I'm donna go to band camp.

[@johnnetbrame1254]

​@@user-xt4st4cs2yI 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 :)

[@lapreciousdiary]

Don't be nervous! you'll have so much fun!

[@lapreciousdiary]

You should definitely go! we learn our show during this time and you don't what to miss that.

[@corinabottiaux5686]

Same

[@mosysu]

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!

[@lapreciousdiary]

Good luck, marching season is so fun and also so tiring

[@axstics]

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

[@axstics]

I didn’t mean to reply to this

[@yeonjunsfly]

omg same for me im gonna be in 10th and i joined during winter so this is my first

[@lapreciousdiary]

no worries! :)

[@EthanV214]

The flag getting stuck in your shirt is too true, the amount of times my flag pole has gotten stuck in my sleeves is crazy 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@lapreciousdiary]

yea mines does that a lot as well! it’s terrible😅

[@harpermckee1392]

i’m a senior but i love watching these bc i forget😂

[@onlyantie7939]

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.

[@fellownerd1138]

My 8th grade year was so fun. It is scary but it’s the best thing ever tbh.

[@Kaykayowkapow]

Omg Same it’s so great to see people who I can relate too :)) I’m honestly scared but excited

[@SPEAKERBOX2008]

How was it?

[@Kaykayowkapow]

@@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.

[@-.Lemon_Zest.-]

Me too! This is my 2nd year cus I started in 7th grade but I am still scared because I’m starting in drumline this year instead of pit percussion

[@lydiaab4459]

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

[@lapreciousdiary]

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.

[@harpermckee1392]

mine starts the 18th, i’m rly nervous i hope it goes well for u!!

[@faclonx6275]

[@lapreciousdiary]

No problem☺️

[@twilight1220]

I'm joining and in my junior year of highschool rn and I've heard some crazy torture stories about bandcamp

[@lapreciousdiary]

@@twilight1220 it’s not too bad.😭hopefully what your talking about is them doing strength training but other than that it’s part of the experience!😊

[@jenna.shortss]

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]

good tip!🫶🏾

[@jenna.shortss]

@@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]

yea we do a lot of workouts during our colorguard camp!

[@jenna.shortss]

@@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

[@lapreciousdiary]

yea we do have those a lot as well!

[@vizuren]

Give this person 1K subs! This was a great vid. I’m starting my first band camp next week as a rookie btw.

I know I’m commenting pretty late but if you see this do you have any tips on like breath control for marching? Thank you!

[@lapreciousdiary]

@@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!😊

(My mammaw had surgery to fix her back and someone tried off their self) 😭😭😭 help-

[@lapreciousdiary]

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!
