@kismatt Our freshmen had their own marching band, so by the time they got to the varsity band they knew their fundamentals, mostly.
@divisionbyzero ooh. We didn't have that many ppl. :D My grad class was 365, and the total in the band was about 120 by my senior year. (HS = 4 yr, not 3)
@divisionbyzero Also, I think the drum line did the whole month, plus afternoon. I was brass.
@divisionbyzero It may have been longer than 2 weeks - I felt like the first 3-4 days were spent teaching the frosh which foot was the left and which the right. lol
