Music Camp --sponsored by Sharps &Flats of GEAR.

 
The annual Music Camp, sponsored by  Sharps and Flats chapter of the Greater Eastern Area, GEAR, spent  a productive and fun week together  in Gettysburg, PA October 2-7, 2012. 



The destination for a week of music was Drummer Boy Camping Resort at Gettysburg, PA
 



 
 


The camp used Lincoln Hall for morning rehearsals, evening activities and jammin’.  Music Camp was directed by Charles Marston.  Music Camp mornings were dedicated to rehearsing and exploring music.
 
 
 
 
 
Fun evening activities were directed by Cindy Peterson.  John and Nancy Reever accumulated great prizes prior to the camp.  Unfortunately they had to turn south after FMCA in Indianapolis due to concerns for John’s vision.  Prizes, loaded in the Reever coach, were divided among coaches and arrived safely at music camp.
 




The Saturday rehearsal was moved to a pavilion.


Afternoons were free for sightseeing in this historic Civil War area.  Different music camp attendees took advantage of tours.  It was noted in the museum that Civil War Horns had bells that faced backward.  The bell position was to provide music and a moral boost to the weary soldiers.
 
 


Music Camp enjoyed a hot dog roast and a dinner at Hoss’s Restaurant in Gettyburg.
