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!
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!!
Courtney had a blast on her mission trip to Ethiopia...
... Krista had a great summer working summer staff at Highland Lakes Camp...
... and Sarah had an amazing time studying abroad in England and visiting family in Japan. These are just a few snapshots from our summer. We're looking forward to another great year at ETBU and hope your summer was incredible as ours!!
We have had such a great time at the 2013 SWD Convention hosted at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX! It was such an amazing experience. Three of our actives and one of our conditional members went to participate in various workshops and serve as delegates in committees. Our chapter, Iota Beta, was chosen as proxy for TAMU Commerce and our VPM, Courtney Gallegly, was chosen to sit as chair for a committee! We are so thankful to Courtney who helped put the name of Iota Beta out there for other chapters to hear as she read the committee report at the separate session on Saturday, April 13. We learned so much from the workshops and speakers and we are so excited to implement all the new information into the upcoming semesters. It was a great time to grow as a chapter and as sisters in the bond. Hopefully we'll be able to get 100% of our actives next year! GO SOUTHWEST! ALLEYOOP!
