That annual summer ritual of several ( about six) hundred high school students taking the field to get a feeling of what it would be like to be members of the FAMU Marching 100 is underway again on the FAMU campus. Campus from all across the USA have made their way to the FAMU campus for one of America's largest marching band camps. This year's camp takes place , July 12 through July 19.
Participants will showcase their new skills and moves at the annual band camp parade on Thursday, July 17, at 2 p.m.
Rev. Dr. John Green, pastor of Bethel A.M.E. Church, and Pastor Calvin McFadden of Community of Faith, are the parade’s grand marshals. This year’s parade will consist of both campus and community organizations.
The parade route will begin at Bragg Memorial Stadium traveling south on Wahnish Way; turn right on to Gamble Street; then right on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., and end on “The Set” at the viewing stand.
Band participants will continue to showcase their new skills at events through the end of the week. Friday, July 18, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., an ensemble concert is scheduled and from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., a symphonic concert is scheduled. Both concerts will be held in Lee Hall Auditorium.
The Super Summer-Fest Finale Performance is scheduled for Saturday, July 19, at 10 a.m. in Bragg Stadium.
Um... if you travel south from Bragg, won't you end up at Osceola Street? Didn't you mean "travel north on Wannish Way; turn right on to Gamble Street"?
