I took pictures of the first-period classes.  Here are the  junior high school band flutes in Cousins lobby.

This is the high school white band trumpets.




The junior honor band saxophones.


Mr. Barney has a saxophone that he uses to teach the altisimo range (the very high notes) embouchure (mouth placement). It doesn't have any keys. (At this point you can start the saxophone jokes, like "that's the perfect design for a saxophone," etc.).


The high school white band tubas.




The high school white band trombones.



The high school concert band saxophones.



The high school white band percussion.




The high school symphonic band percussion.




The flutes had a masterclass with Dr. Garner.




There is a contest throughout camp. The winning high school and junior high school bands get a pizza party on Thursday before the camp ball. It looks like high school white band and the junior honors band are in the lead.


At the 3 pm junior high assembly, jazz band III performed.





Then it was the junior high school second percussion ensemble's turn.




This is the first junior high school percussion ensemble during an earthquake.

(When I was in basic training at Lackland Air Force Base several decades ago, we had to shoot M-16s. We were given 60 bullets and told to shoot at the target directly ahead of us. The weird thing was that my target didn't have very many holes but the guys on either side of me got marksmanship medals because they had more than 60 hits. Somehow they must have gotten lucky that some of their bullets split in half on their way to the target. Had I not auditioned for assignment to an Air Force band, I'm sure I would have been used in Vietnam as a decoy, with a string around my neck and assurances that I would be pulled back to safety at the sound of the first shot, in order to draw out the enemy. Morale of the story: I should not be allowed to take pictures except during earthquakes.)


A picture is worth a thousand words. My pictures require narration so that the viewer might have a clue about what I'm seeing. It's a junior high school percussion ensemble. Here's a picture that's priceless to me, but the actual value is about 7 words.



At the end of the program, all the students played Simon Says. Those left standing were invited to the stage to be eliminated (though they didn't know that was the objective).


At 7 pm, the woodwind choir took the stage. These are the best woodwind players at the camp.







After that the directors jazz band performed.




There's more to Wednesday than that, but that's all the pictures I have.

I spoke too soon. Dr. Teweleit just sent some more.

Dr. Bradley Garner conducts a masterclass for the flute students at camp.



Bassoon reedmaking class.




Mr. Hinds' jazz band II performed at the high school 3 pm assembly.




Jazz band I with Mr. Storey conducting.




The woodwind ensemble at the 7 pm concert. Mr. Worosello conducted the group.








Now that's the end.
