Are You Ready?

As the days begin ticking down to the start of band camp, your directors and leadership have been working diligently to prepare! The start of the season is always exciting, and we can’t wait to share it with you. So, looking forward, leadership would like to express some of our excitement right now about band camp and the new season.

Two things I’m really looking forward to are hearing our drumline warm up on that first day of band camp (it always makes me really excited and it sounds like home) and the first time Enter Sandman is played in Lane at our first home game! I’m also really excited that we get to have the whole band back together again! It’s going to be an amazing season!!!!

I’m excited to see new faces and to welcome them in, and to reunite with the entire band! I look forward to the high fives from the fans and playing my heart out with my band family again!

I’m excited for band camp to start because I miss just being in marching band. I wasn’t on campus at all last year so I feel really pumped to just experience this again.
— Kieran Casey, Tuba Section Leader
I am excited to see the talent coming our way for band camp and to get started with some awesome shows. I can’t wait to meet all of our new people and catch up with our veterans. I know there will be so much excitement to get back on the field for halftime. Band camp is going to be a great start to the year.

I am excited to regain some normalcy this season!! There is nothing like gameday in Lane Stadium with the MVs and I can’t wait to experience it with Rylee and all my other band friends.

I look forward to marching again! As much as I love playing in place, putting the visual component of drill to our music is always the most exciting part of show building for me. I cannot wait to get into the drill!

I am very excited for band camp as I will get the opportunity to teach my own choreography for the first time! I have had so much fun creating routines for this upcoming season and I cannot wait to share my passion with others and see everything come together in Lane Stadium.
