(former) High school band members: say you have Saturday practice. How long would a regular practice last? Ballpark figure.

My hubby said they usually practiced after school, but when they did have to get together on Saturday mornings it was usually about 4 hours... :P

I was never in band, but the l'il-bro-type was for a long time. I'm not sure I remember them having Saturday practices, actually. Maybe if they were about to go to a festival or in the immediate couple of weeks before marching band season, but not as a regular thing.

As per usual, it's like, a passing mention or two, but I want facts behind those casual mentions *g* Thank you :)

Competition band, hours and hours on a weekend. My poor kid. Regular band, only rarely on weekends, and then only for a couple hours.
*hugs*

Regular ban/orchestra: mostly during the week (during and after school), but many hours on the weekends before a competition.

Marching band: many hours (e.g. 4+) on Saturdays and Sundays unless there was a football game or before a competition. We would also have all-day practices during the summer.

I was in both the regular and the marching band, sweetie. Depending on what was going on we'd have practice on Saturdays sometime. Especially if we had a competition coming up.

Plus, there was always band camp in the summer as well. I played baritone sax in the marching and pep bands, soprano & bass clarinet in orchestra. :)
