1993[p.106] Marching Band: Continuing a Tradition of Excellence Two weeks before school began, the Samford University Band arrived for their infamous band camp. Early mornings, long hours of marching in the sun, intense rehearsals and endless memorization were only some of the joys of the great experience known as band camp. The hours spent during camp were designed to bring all the members of the band together to produce a field show for the coming football season. The entertainment of the home crowd was not the only thing that was accomplished from their hard work. Discipline, dedication and an understanding of the team concept were engrained on the performers. The old saying, "There is no 'I' in team," was as true there as anywhere else. Learning the value of individual excellence and incorporating that into the big picture was one of many objectives of the marching band, and called for extra effort from all involved. Hard work was not the only thing the band spent their time doing. The many hours of intensity and concentration were matched by hours of relaxation and fun. Several dances and parties were held during band camp and the rest of the semester, including the long awaited party at director Jon Remley's house. "Perfection... it's what we're all about, and it doesn't come easy." --Brian Dunn |
