August 30th, 2017: One Time at Band Camp

A music school in Seattle runs a band camp for kids.

Unless you’re a musical prodigy, the first lessons when you’re learning to play are drudgery and repetition. You play the same chords and rhythms over and over until you can do them without thinking. How do you turn that into a fun summer camp experience?

Well, one way is that they have the campers split into bands and do a performance at the end of camp. Part of becoming a band is naming it and coming up with an image for them. What kind of band is it? What do we play? Every Wednesday during the summer, we see the posters for these bands go up on telephone poles.

This is one of the bands.
