Summer Camps

Each year Universities throughout the United States offer opportunities for students to participate and learn in on campus learning programs. These programs are available in a variety of areas, including music. There are several options available right

here in Alabama. Typically each year our drum major participates in a leadership camp. In addition to Blake attending Spirit Camp, Brittany R. attended the Auburn University Marching Leadership Camp.

The focus of the Auburn University Marching Leadership Camp is on developing leadership skills, improving basic and advanced technique, and enhancing the overall impact of a marching band performance. The Marching Leadership Camp is staffed by the directors and student leaders of Auburn University Marching Band.

The program is open to high school Drum Majors, Section Leaders, Majorettes, Dancers, or Colorguard members who will be in the 9th through 12th grade in the upcoming school year.

We are very proud of Brittany for taking the step to branch out and learn more musically and leadership wise during the summer. Each camp attended by any member of the THS band only increases our abilities right here in Talladega. Brittany has a lot of information and experiences to share, so feel free to ask her.

Go ahead now and look ahead to next summer. Is there a camp you might be interested in? There are many offerings and by planning ahead you may be better in a position to attend. If you are interested and need suggestions ask Mr. McDaniel or Ms. Todd.

Just a reminder that not only should you take the opportunity to utilize the blog of your individual section, but you should also visit blogs of other sections and feel free to make comments there too. You can find the link in the sidebar of your blog. For a start, go visit the drum major blog to see how Blake did at Spirit Camp.

Great work this week at practice. Keep up the good work.
