At camp, members work hard at learning new music, new drills, and reviewing the basics of marching. Also on the band camp itinerary are fun social activities that bring old friends together and make new friends that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the fall semester, marching band rehearsals are scheduled so that it will not interfere with prime academic time or any other music groups on campus. Meetings are Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 p.m. \u2013 4:50 p.m. and Friday from 4:00 p.m. \u2013 5:20 p.m. and game days from 8:00 a.m. until the game is over. Marching band is also a credited course and members may elect to receive one or zero credits per semester. If members elect to do one credit, it will count towards fulfilling certain general education requirements. The course is MUO 111, section 1.
