PICKERINGTON, Ohio (WCMH) – A summertime tradition returns for band members at Pickerington Central High School as students and staff come back together for band camp, which kicks off this week.
Students said they welcome the much-needed sense of normalcy at the camp this week.
The pandemic forced the Marching Tigers to modify its practices last year. Playing their instruments side by side in a traditional fashion is the right step toward a normal school year, the campers said.
From the woodwinds to the brass, band members feel grateful to be harmonizing together again.
“It’s kind of like a family in a sense, you know, and last year was kind of rough,” said senior tuba player Ryan Oulmet. “I felt bad for the seniors because they basically had their senior years robbed from them.”
