So we've just had an extraordinarily successful Band Camp with such a great group of folks! Band Camp was from August 18-22 and we had pizza, games (HOWDY SAILOR), ice cream, worship, and tons of fun! We've even got a video! All of our members individually pulled a big load this past week getting things set up and ready, but I believe I can speak for all my sisters when I say it was totally worth the work. We all cannot wait for the semester to begin and get started learning drill!
Who else is ready to kick off Fall 2013?? The ladies of Iota Beta are pumped for a new semester with new band members, new memories, and new challenges!! Tiger Band Camp 2013 was a huge success and the band sounds awesome! Even though our first game is over a month away, we're excited to put the new drill on the field and unleash some Latin flavor on our little East Texas town! We've been getting to know the freshman ladies that have joined the ranks of the ETBU Tiger Band and we love every last one of them. We can't wait to get started on the MC process this semester! (The Omicron class could be the best one yet ;)) Informational meetings, social events, bids, MC tests, and degree are already on the calendar. We can't wait to see what these ladies have to offer and how their fresh perspectives can help us better serve our band and each other. Good luck to everyone everywhere kicking off the semester the next couple of weeks! We're excited to hear about all the ways that everyone is serving their university bands all around the world!!
The ladies are back in Marshall and ready to get down to business! We all had great summers at camp, overseas, at home, and everywhere else our lovely sisters roamed, but now we're back to school and excited to get to work planning ETBU Tiger Band Camp 2013. We're getting ready for our first official TBS meeting in just a few minutes and a joint band leadership meeting with our KKY brothers and Tiger Band drum major tonight at 6 to discuss uniform checkouts, music, rehearsal times, and band hang outs.
Get excited for band camp, Tigers!!
