HAMPTON UNIVERSITY “THE MARCHING FORCE”

Greetings, Hamptonians, New Recruits of The Marching Force, and Returning Marching Pirates! This letter serves three purposes:

First, if you have committed to attending HU or if you are a current HU student and might be interested, we would like to extend the invite for you to join our band program. If you play a band instrument (Piccolo/Flute, Clarinet, Alto/Tenor Saxophone, Mellophone/French Horn, Trumpet/Flugelhorn, Trombone, Baritone/Euphonium, Tuba/Sousaphone, Cymbals, Snare/Bass/Tenor Drum, Quints), band scholarships are available. If you do not play an instrument, we are still in need of Managers to assist with logistics (all Managers will receive a book scholarship for the Fall 2018 semester), or we can even teach you to play an instrument. If you are interested in trying out for our Auxiliary—“Ebony Fire” Dancers, “Silky” Flag Corps, and “Sapphire Elegance” Majorettes (Baton Twirlers)—auditions will be held during band camp. If you would like to join our family, please complete the Statement of Intent form at the end of this document and submit it via email or regular mail. In addition, please notify us immediately of your interest via phone or email in order to update our roster.

Second, if you have committed to attending Hampton University and have already submitted your Statement of Intent form to secure your place on our roster, we would like to welcome you as part of our Fall 2018 Class of New Recruits for The Hampton University Marching Force.

Third, if you are a current Marching Pirate and have indicated your intent to participate in the HU Bands program for the 2018-2019 academic year as denoted by your submitted Statement of Intent form, this letter will provide you with further instructions, as things will be much different than last year. The 2018 Marching Force Band Camp will begin on Sunday, July 29, 2018. All New Recruits (Brass, Woodwinds, Managers); all new and returning members of the Drumline, Flags, and Majorettes; all student leaders (Drum Majors, Captains, Section Leaders); all returning dancers; and all other current/returning Marching Pirates will report to campus on July 29, 2018.

- Additional practice uniform attire - Plenty of undergarments - Civilian clothes - Healthy snacks (granola bars, trail mix, etc. NO SWEETS) - Vaseline, Neosporin, muscle ointment - Insect repellent, sunscreen - Toiletries, to include deodorant, toothpaste/brush, mouthwash, body soap, and foot powder - Bedding linens (twin long), pillow - Laundry bag, detergent, dryer sheets, and spare change for laundry - Prescription medications (vetted and administered/monitored by authorized personnel) - Spending money - Sunglasses, boonie hat, and hydration source (gallon jug, Camelbak, etc.) - Book bag - Most importantly: A POSITIVE ATTITUDE! -

NOTE: During public performances, all band members are expected to display a proper “military appearance.” For men, this means proper grooming. For men and women, when wearing the marching band uniform, all excess hair must fit under the shako and must not extend past the shoulders to where it comes in contact with the uniform. Use this time to make the necessary lifestyle changes.


Camp Readiness All students should report to camp in a high state of physical, mental, nutritional, and moral readiness. In addition, you should also ensure that you are prepared to meet the technical and additional physical demands of your particular section within the band. Physical: Cardiovascular training is a critical component of HBCU band life. In order to maintain the high energy of performances and to better acclimate to extreme temperature conditions, such as those seen in locations like Savannah, GA, you should adequately prepare for camp by jogging and running during regular workouts several weeks before camp, along with squats and crunches. Some suggested running workouts are:

- Long-distance running (3-5 miles, 1 day a week) - Sprints (10 x 100 meters, walk back in between sets, 1 day a week) - Long intervals (5 x 2 laps on track, 5 minutes rest between sets, 2 days a week) - Short intervals of 30/60 or 60/120 (e.g. sprint 30 seconds/walk 60 seconds, 2 days a week) - 1 day of rest/recovery

Additionally, you should also seek to incorporate a mix of cross-training options, such as swimming, rowing, cycling, step mill, and elliptical. NOTE: For all Drumline members and Sousaphone players, you must incorporate deadlift training into your workouts. Proper deadlift form can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4qRntuXBSc and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyRiw2b8yI4. NOTE: For all auxiliary members, it is imperative that you maintain a high level of cardiovascular and nutritional health for both endurance and appearance purposes. The Auxiliary Coordinators reserve the right to restrict membership to those who pose a minimal health risk amid the performance demands of the band and/or to those who display a proper and appropriate fit of the uniform. Musical: All Instrumentalists (Brass, Woodwind, Percussion) must arrive at camp ready to meet the musical demands of The Marching Force. For Brass and Woodwinds, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with all 12 major scales and the chromatic scale. To build endurance, you should also practice a combination of instrument-specific exercises (long tones, lip slurs, etc.). Drumline members should be familiar with all 40 PAS rudiments and additional tasks as deemed by the Percussion Director. Dietary and Conduct Restrictions: Starting from the first full week of camp (July 30), you will refrain from engaging in the “Five S’s” in order to ensure a safe and productive learning environment:

- No Sweets (to include cakes and pies—however, there will be limited “cheat days” TBD) - No Sodas - No Smoking - No Sipping (alcohol) - No Swearing (to include language of a derogatory, racist, sexist, and/or demeaning manner)

Use this time to wean yourself off of these vices well before camp begins. Violations will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action, to include scholarship reductions and/or the recommendation for dismissal from the HU Bands program and/or Hampton University. Don’t try me. Any objections to these restrictions can be addressed to the University President at (757) 727-5231.


Medical Clearance All members of The Marching Force should have a valid physical on file with the Hampton University Health Center and be medically cleared. For the 2018-2019 academic year, HU has moved to an online system, Med + Proctor, as the default medical clearance platform. It is up to you to ensure that you take the necessary steps to be medically cleared prior to arriving at camp. There will be no exceptions for medical clearance. Submit your completed physical form to the Health Center and the Director of Bands. Enrollment steps can be found here http://www.hamptonu.edu/studentservices/health/medical_requirements.cfm. You must be medically cleared in order to participate in The Hampton University Marching Force. NOTE: Refrigerators and microwaves are NOT authorized for dormitory use. Only with a specific and valid medical note, signed by a doctor, will a student be permitted the use of a refrigerator.
