Band Camp Update

Greetings from Gifford Elementary School and the 2008 Lighthouse Brigade Band Camp!

We have survived some heavy weather conditions, muddy fields and snow days and I am happy to announce that by Noon today the entire show will be taught!! Now comes the fun part - cleaning all of the drill moves and adding cool visual stuff. Our first real performance is this Friday at the "Madisonic" show in Middleton, WI with the Madison Scouts. This is not a competition, but it is a good chance for us to perform our show and get "judges tapes" from the Madison Scouts staff! It will also be a nice chance to see four of our former Brigade marching members who are marching with the boys from Madison - Tony Holm, Joe Bauer, Justin Haman and Mike Kowbel!!

We have about a full week to clean and polish our show before we enter into actual competition and I really look forward to seeing the daily progress of our production.

One new thing we will be doing this year is a MACBDA social next week - but more on that later.
