My school is really really really big on marching band...and we are like 7 time BOA(Bands of America) Grand National "A" champions so its really tuff at my school...at first i hated it...but now...it`s starting to grow on me..plus we have band camp next week..yeah

Kudos! THAT is a tough bracket, from an AA group. Heck, nationals is just scary period. Huge arena, travel and everything else. I have changed in far too many parking lots when we got bad time slot draws.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER during band camp. Yay for bandcamp, well, yes and no. A lot of bonding went on and parents were great and hosted BBQ`s and picnics for a lot of our downtime (we did 9-12 and then 6-9 for a week (no travel)...but it could still be merciless.
