what do you play like bass, snare, tenor, cymbals? work on your chops. get a metronome or go to one online and play 8's with it. or play your lines music with a metronome. make sure you take even steps when you march, and your upper body shouldn't be bent over or doin crazy stuff . keep your back straight when you crab step march forward or backward. thats all i can think of

Thanks.
I will keep that inmind tomarrow. My fist day of band camp at a newer bigger school and Im really nervous. but Im sure I will be fine. Im a pro! But Im stoked and willing to go through any kind of hell this guy is going to give me. Its worth it as long as Im on tha line!
