1.) The week of torture that makes band kids cry and still enjoy themselves
2.) Where band geeks go to socialize, practice their instruments, practice their drill charts, have severe dehydration, and somewhat improve their marching

Get the Band Camp mug.A person in a marching band, whether it be Highschool or College, who constantly causes a disfigured shape or form within the structure/picture the band is trying to display. This person has either very poor perception, disabled in some way, or just lazy.
Guy 1: "Dude, the flower in our last formation looked like a giant dick on field..."
Guy 2: "It was that dumb clarinet bitch..."
Guy 1: *Facepalm* *sigh* "Band cancer, right there...."

Get the Band Cancer mug.When marching band students have to attend a program (either at their school or somewhere else, like a summer camp or college) for a period of time averaging about a week (depends on the school). Here they practice their instruments, learn/memorize songs for the upcoming season, and learn drills and how to march. For some people, it's the best time of their lives, for others it's a living hell. It all depends on the particular school and band.
-Despite common perception, not all band camps are merely staging grounds for sexual activity. Some schools enlist the help of band parents in chaperoning the trip to make sure that the students (particularly the freshmen) don't get away with anything illegal or sexual in nature. Furthermore, sources show that most flute players have never shoved their flute into any part of their bodies, despite the line about it in American Pie.
Typical band camp activities may include: Marching, standing in the hot sun for hours, getting eaten alive by bugs, marching, playing instruments, getting weird tan lines, marching, choking down partially edible food, coming up with strange inside jokes nobody outside of band will ever understand, getting soaked, getting lost in nearby woods at night, sleeping, pulling off pranks, and oh yeah, more marching.
2)An excuse to tell a long (or not so long), funny, and often stupid story.
3)Where all your friends in band are during the summer. (also a viable excuse for not seeing your friends if you're in band.)

1)A few weeks before school started, the Anytown High School marching band went to band camp.
2)"This one time at band camp... we got lost in the woods on our way to practice and then these moquitoes that were like THIS BIG attacked us so I fended them off with my clarinet and then Jimmy jumped out at us and I got so scared I hit him with my clarinet too..."
3)-"Dude, I haven't seen you since July... where were you?"
-"Yeah, I was at band camp."

Get the band camp mug.Band crack is an exclusive drug for marching band members only. It is invisible and very addicting. Generally packed into water bottles, the air of the band room, on the band bus, and in instrument cases. Without Band Crack, the students in marching band would just be normal students.
The crazier, more perverted, or more disorganized the band member, the more they've been dipping into the band more often. It is also the cause of any withdraw symptoms that may be felt when away from band.
Freshmen do not get their full supply of band crack until well into the football season.

Band Member 1: This one time at band camp....
Band Member 2: *in fits of giggles*
Non-band member: What's wrong with her?
Band Member 1: She's been into the band crack again.

Get the Band Crack mug.Generally the most fun experience you will ever have. Seriously. Ever. Usually surrounded by friends, instruments, and generally awesome people simply by the fact they are in band, you can expect the funniest jokes, gestures, and awkward silences. You will be talking about or acting out something very strange that you and your "bus buddy" will be the only ones to understand. While doing so, everything will go silent and you will be regarded as the strangest person in band. Until it happens to someone else. You can watch the croud as you be the most fabulous people on Earth ever. Watch them carefully for they are your peasants. You will take over the world after you take home the biggest fuckin trophy you have ever seen in your mega god life. They may not be worshipping you yet but you are harnessing their energy. Even if you don't know it. Subconsciously, your mind is screaming "MORE POWAH" and you are succeeding. You will then ride home with a bunch of people covered in blankets, half asleep, complaining about being too hot and how bad their marching shoes smell. Not to mention everyone's head will hurt from wearing tight buckets on their head with your hair stuffed inside. Enjoy your inside jokes afterwords and never speak to anyone about anything that happened that night. Ever. Everyone will want to send you to a psychiatric ward.
Drum major: "guys remember those band competitions? They were SO FUN!
Rest of band: "you speak of this to no one"

Get the band competitions mug.The tan members of a marching band get in band camp, usually consisting of pale feet, tan legs, and depending on the shirt you wear, tan arms and/or shoulders, and a pale chest. If wearing gloves, will also have extremely pale hands. Similar to a farmer's tan, except to qualify you must get it in marching band camp.
