Band Competition Overview

This document outlines the structure and activities planned for the upcoming band competition hosted by Tim and another organizer. The event aims to foster teamwork and camaraderie among participants while engaging in various challenging games. Here’s a detailed look at the event’s organization and what participants can expect.

Team Formation

The participants will be divided into four teams. The division is designed to be as equitable as possible, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to contribute while maximizing participation. Notably, Tim and the host will not be on a team, as their role is to oversee the competition.

Games and Activities

Throughout the week, several exciting games will take place, each with its own point system encouraging competition and engagement. The games include:

Drill Down: This foundational activity will test the precision and coordination of the band members.
Rain on Me Competition: Specific details regarding this competition are yet to be disclosed, but participants can expect a fun and engaging challenge.
Blindfolded 8 to 5 Challenge: In this unique event, a volunteer from each team will attempt to walk a straight line while blindfolded, measuring the evenness of their steps. This challenge emphasizes both skill and trust within the team.

Point System

Each game is assigned a different point value, which will contribute to the overall standing of each team. Additional opportunities for earning points include:

Team Bonus: A significant bonus will be awarded to any team whose members complete the "show" pass-off by the time the fourth movement pass-offs occur. This incentive encourages timely and collaborative practice among team members.

Recognition and Rewards

To further enhance the competitive spirit and foster a positive band culture, daily recognitions will be held:

Member of the Day: This accolade will be presented to an individual who epitomizes the values and ideals that the band strives to achieve. This recognition serves to motivate participants and highlight exemplary behavior.

In addition to daily recognitions, on the final day of band camp (Thursday), Tim and the host will present a skit to announce the winning team. The winning team will receive a fun reward in the form of ice cream, while Tim and the host will face playful punishments, adding a humorous touch to the event.

Conclusion

This upcoming band competition offers a structured yet enjoyable way for members to engage, learn, and grow together. The combination of teamwork, competitive events, and recognitions promises to create a memorable experience for all involved.
