“We went from flash flood warnings to heat advisories,” said student Sami Maddox, looking back on the two weeks of band camp completed by members of the Manheim Central High School (MCHS) marching band. On weekdays from July 30 to Aug. 10, the students persevered through daily sessions from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Even losing some practice time to the rain did not stop the students from
mastering this fall’s show, “Eclipse.” Sami and fellow seniors Laura Forwood and Noah Urban, who are this season’s drum majors, said that the show features a bold and triumphant opening followed by a darker and funkier second movement with complex rhythms. “We’re telling the story of what goes on in space,” explained See Band Camp pg 8
