Wall Camp is fast approaching!!!

Emailed to all Wall students on July 10th:



Greetings to all Wall of Sound members!



We are just two weeks away from Wall of Sound camp which starts at 8:00 am on Tuesday, July 28th. Try to report by 7:45 that morning. Wear comfortable weather-appropriate clothing and tennis shoes. Wear sunblock and bring sunglasses. Water breaks will be plentiful. Over the 8 days of camp, we will be learning the drill and visuals to the entire Danny Elfman show (which includes 61 drill pages) and combine it together with the music we've been working on.



If you are still not completely comfortable with the show music at a memorized level, there will be two open sessions next week to work together on the music. They are on Wednesday, July 22nd from 9:00-10:30 am and on Thursday, July 23rd from 1:00-2:30 pm. If you don't have your music down solid, come in at least once. If you missed the last rehearsal and the memorization check, try to come in both times.



It is very important that everyone has their music down and memorized before the first day of camp. Use your Wall Practice CD and play along with the tracks. Rehearse each song three times...once with music, a second time while looking away as much as possible and finally try to play it memorized. Last thought on working with the music... practice it with the feet moving. That will make the drill come easier when we put the whole thing together.



Don't forget to return your family's Wall Picnic form during the first few days of Wall Camp. If you have any questions, this new email address (gtownbands@gmail.com) is exclusively dedicated for Wall of Sound use. Get ready for a great Wall Season! Mr. Barnes
