Newbnqtva03 · #1 06-03-2003

I'll be attending Hampton this fall and I was thinkin' about doing marchin' band. I was wonderin' about their band program, so if anybody could give me the 411 I would really appreciate it.

being apart of "THE FORCE" is definitely hard work. i don't know when band camp starts you might have to wait until the next school year. The band is one of the best in to MEAC and they are very disciplined. being a band member takes up a lot of time especially during the fall semester because of football. for basketball season i think you have the option of being apart of pep band. but i would call 757-727-5000 and ask for the music department or the band director, Mr. Smart

Hey, congrats on your choice, future Force member!!!! I'm in the band (it will be my second year). Band Camp starts on August 11th....you gotta get an application from the school. You shouldn't have to wait untill next year, just call the music department and ask them to send you an application. You do have to pay though (it was $165 last year).

hutrendsetter was right...band is hard work (especially if your first year). If you have any other questions about the band or about the school, you can definately catch me at coco62584@hotmail.com. I'm also on AIM with the same name.

The FORCE is a wonderful choice. To correct my fellow FORCE member, band camp for FRESHMEN begins the 7th of August. Band camp for RETURNING FORCE MEMBERS begins the 11th of August. If you want the low down (no pun intended) on what the FORCE is about, hit me up at tigerproduction2002@yahoo.com.
