Welcome to the returning students and the new members of the Ben Davis Marching Giants! New members were able to get a taste of being a Marching Giant when two mini-camps were held in April and May. But, on July 5, the Band officially started the marching season at Ben Davis HS. When the new members arrived, the directors were able to begin work right away because of the mini-camps. The Drum Majors and Section Leaders were available to help the new members understand what was expected and what would be taking place the first week of the Marching season. On Wednesday, July 7, the veteran members returned; and the Marching Band was once again together. Members started out learning / reviewing the basics; along with new body warm-ups and music for the upcoming season.
July 19, begins Band Camp Week; it is very important everyone be present; there is much to learn during this time.
Your first chance to see the Band in motion will be at the Ice Cream Social on Friday, July 30, at 6:00 in the Giant Stadium. Be sure to mark your calendars; it’s going to be an exciting year!
Don’t forget about the Garage Sale scheduled for Saturday, July 17. All funds go toward the 2011 New Uniform Campaign.
