During band camp, the band will go through music rehearsals, sectionals, and marching rehearsals. When music rehearsals begin, the director will conduct the band as they read through the music in front of them. Each instrument has their own part that will contribute to the entire sound. As the band plays through their music, the director will make notes of points in the music that need addressing; maybe the trombones missed a note or the flutes played the wrong rhythm. Apart from full band playing rehearsal, each section will have sectionals where they will focus solely on their own music. This helps each section get familiar with their music and apply what they learned to the next full band playing rehearsal. Also, during sectionals, section leaders will attend to marching fundamentals, reviewing the proper way to march while on the field. When the entire band goes to the drill field for marching rehearsal, every member is equipped with an instrument, music, and a coordinate sheet. The band will find the opening set by referring to their coordinate sheets. From that point, everyone will find the next set and memorize it. This process will go on until all sets have been memorized. Then, the band will play their music while marching between sets. These rehearsals will continue into the school year until every element in the show has been
