band camp

A couple weeks ago our school hosted the band camp. As well as our school, te Awamutu Intermediate, matamata intermediate and cambridge middleschool came as well. The camp was over two days, and students from te awamutu intermediate did not get to stay the night. It started on Wednesday about 10 30. Matamata and Cambridge arrived at 10 and started to unpack their gear. Later on the students from te awamutu camp up to the alc with their instuments. The seniour band stayed there while the the joniors went down to the hall, the drum line in the music room and the coirer in the dance and drama studio. At 11 30 we had a morning tea break, and at 12 30 we had lunch. during these time we practiced playing songs. In the senoiors, the band I am in, we practiced songs like royals, happy, mambo no. 5, heavy metal and more. we practiced hard and we looked forward to dinner at 5 30, wjich was hamburgers and chips and for desert we had apple crumble and icecream. After that we had  short rehearsel and te awamutu went home.

The next day, Thursday, we played the songs even harder because we new that we had a concert to night. We played hard and stopped for lunch at the same time. At 3 O'clock we stopped for afternoon tea and had a big rest until dinner was ready at 5. The concert was starting a 7, so we all got our insturments and went to the music room. By the time the had got us all tune up and seated, it was 7. the conccert was great  and went to 8 30.

I would like to say thank you to Mrs German, Mr Sandbridge, Caleb and the music teachers and parents from cmbridge and matamata for making this whole thing posssible.
