We're so excited to kick off the 2018 season
with you! This packet has info about
band camp, the season, our section, and our
leadership team!
The time to start preparing for band camp is NOW! Please read through all attatched materials and start familiarizing yourself with the music enclosed! The more we have under our fingers before we get to camp, the more efficient
we'll be!
NEW MEMBERS:
This might seem like an overwhelming amount of music to memorize- don't
worry! Just work on what you can, and we'll pick it up at
camp!
RETURNING MEMBERS:
While you've already played a lot of this music, please take the time to review your parts and get a jump start on show
music!
WE NOW HAVE A WEBSITE! Check it out: www.mrdtrumpets.weebly.com
This website will provide info about the section and the season
and will also be a great resource for MRD files (including a PDF of this packet) throughout the year!

"When it rains, we get
wet!"The MRD's rehearse and perform in a
variety of weather conditions. We STRONGLY encourage you bring
thin/thick layers that will fit underneath a standard marching
uniform for game days, in addition to warm clothes (hats, mittens, scarves,
etc.) for rehearsals.
The MRD's do not stop for rain, so we advise you to also bring
rain gear for rehearsals! (Uniform rain jackets
provided at games)^ we use a drill reading app in rehearsals
"Don’t eat a whole lot of junk/ heavy food at meals, especially at lunch and when we are
about to go into the stadium in the heat for drill"
"Hydrate before you die-drate. Wear sunscreen or you will second degree burns"
"Hydrate, BRING SUNGLASSES, wear sunscreen, be ready for hard work but fun! Do your best to
keep a positive attitude through the heat and have a blast in the MRDs!"
"No wool, bring more pairs of athletic stuff than you think you need cause u stank"
"But actually, don't wear dumb shoes. Wear athletic shoes plz"
"Sass, Brass, DLMA"
"bring a lot of socks"
"Don't forget your trumpet before a trip"
"Hang out with the section and don’t take anything too seriously"
"Do NOT drink milk during breakfast on a hot day" "Dont look directly into the eclipse!"
"3 words.... ITS JUST BAND"
"Don't feel pressured to be the best. Just be your best. It's ok to suck sometimes, just not all the time"
"3rd part best part""A dub-F or G will always make a spicy chord"
"if you don’t accidentally fart during the quadruple forte in salvation is created, you’re not trying hard enough"
BOTTOM SPLIT 4TH IS THE BEST PART
"Bring a pencil or two for your music. And enjoy those long walks if you’re living on east campus (it takes 15-20 min just to get to the stadium)"
"Make sure you own a pair of marching shoes before the day you need them"
