This book is the best!!! (Though I would not recommend bringing it to math class with you.....it's kinda hard to explain a bassoon joke to your teacher after you disrupted the class with your laughter)

5.0 out of 5 stars In the words of Snoopy, BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!, July 29, 2006

By	Chase (Akron, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

If you were ever in a high school or college marching band, this book is DEFINITELY for you. These toons bring back a ton of memories about the perils (yes, there are perils) and humor of being in a marching band. Band life is a unique culture, where little black dots on a piece of paper represent the foundation of a collection of very dedicated people. Who'd have thought selling fruit was the solution for the "pay to play" concept? You surely don't see FOOTBALL PLAYERS selling fruit. Nooooo! But band kids do (or at least their parents do). And all this to play music.

In that vein, Tales From Band Camp captures the ironic humor that you have to have when participating in marching band. After all, there is a certain level of craziness required to put on a ridiculously plumed hat game after game.

Most enjoyably, this book completely captures the inside politics that occur between sections. Trumpets get all the glory. Piccolos get the "hard parts", and saxophones get no respect at all!

Pick up this book for someone you know who is or has been in a marching band. It's guaranteed they will identify with it completely!
