@divisionbyzero we used to do this when I was in HS for marching band practice. 6AM-11AM, before the heat, last 2 weeks before school started (after Labor Day).
@kismatt Marching band here as well. We did 8-12 then came back to do 5-8 in the last 2 weeks before school started. 1984-87.
@divisionbyzero Also, I think the drum line did the whole month, plus afternoon. I was brass.
@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)
