Band, Flag Corps Prepare for Another Season
C-T Photo/Laura Schuler If you know that the words "right flank" means to turn right and "ten-hut" means to come to attention, chances are that you've attended a band camp at one time or another. The 2005 Marching Hornets Camp and Flag Corps Camp started this week and will continue through Friday at the high school. Both camps last for a few hours each day and during that time, band members and flag corps members practice, practice, practice. For band members, that means marching in the parking lot of the Gary Dickinson Performing Arts Center and rehearsing several numbers including the school fight song, the national anthem and the band fight song. For flag corps members that means learning and rehearsing new routines. For Dave Goodwin, band director, the upcoming school year marks his 23rd at Chillicothe High School and 26th year of teaching band. He said today (Wednesday) that he expects around 85 band students (including a dozen seniors) to enroll this fall in a class that has stayed relatively consistent in numbers over the years. While noting that he doesn't exactly know why the numbers in his class stays so constant, he said he hoped that the students enjoyed the varied activities that band offers including marching band, the Chilli-Peppers pep band, the concert band and the jazz band. Goodwin also said that the class also allows the students to interact with each other.
