I was just wondering if anyone ever really went to band camp. I was in the band, but never went to band camp.
What goes on there? Is it really as nerdy as people think?
That just makes me think of the movie American Pie. I was wondering if it is anything like the way they show it in the movies.

no, but my daughter did in freshman year, she said it was a waste of time and energy and the people were geeky and nerdy. Everything was about the BAND and being the BEST.

I never did, actually I never went to summer camp. I played sports all summer. One of my college roommates, did, though. She was a music major in college, so I think band camp was good for her because it kept her competitive (she had a scholarship) and it allowed her to play.
I am very musical (just never a music major) and I think being around other musicians can be a lot of fun, especially if you play an instrument that needs an ensemble. So band camp lets you continue playing music in a group during the summer.

well it depends on what you consider band camp. when i was in high school we usually met like 2 weeks before the regular school session started to get the show up and running. we called this period of time band camp but as far as going to an actual camp i've never been to one either
