And here we are yet again! Wednesday was a very exciting day for all of us as camp began. The memory tests in the morning went very smoothly for the most part. With a large amount of returning members this year, it was great to see that so many of them came in to camp with their music memorized. You all set a great example to be followed.
All of the veterans in the section are doing everything they can to welcome in the new members. It was nice to see about half of them at our first social gathering last night after rehearsal. The other section leaders and I feel that this crop of new members is going to fit in very well with the rest of the section. Welcome to you all!
Last night's music rehearsal can be summed up in one word: LOUD. But who can blame us when you've been waiting months to get back in the band room and start playing again? We'll be cleaning up the traditional music throughout band camp, and we'll be starting on our first halftime song for the Mizzou game: Boston's "More Than A Feeling". We'll also be performing the Three In One for the first time without Chief Illiniwek at St. Louis on September 1.
We'll be having daily updates throughout camp. Also, look for new material from new contributors this year on the Trumpet blog.

Rock on! Keep us fossils updated, Trumpets...
Can't wait for that Mizzou show! It had better be good, because I'll be there, and I'll be consuming a large variety of hot dogs and beverages...
