Kilgore College Military Drum Major & Leadership Camp

Kilgore College Military Drum Major & Leadership Camp Official page of the Military Drum Major Camp. Since 1986, this camp has provided workshops for aspiring and current middle & high school drum majors.

Drum Major Students will learn the following:

- Leadership Training
- Group Leadership Discussions
- Conducting Class
- Drum Major Baton/Mace Work

All of these skills will transfer from the drum major to their prospective band programs. The students will leave camp highly motivated to teach and work with their band programs. Each drum major should leave camp with the ability to lea

Each drum major that completes the entire week camp receives a certificate that states that they have successfully completed all requirements of the camp and are ready to begin leading their band.

Well would ya look at that… the bottom of a dreadnought, high and drying, in the year 2022. Note the paravane skeg beneath her forefoot, where the paravane chains would pass through from the bow to keep the minesweeping cables as low in the water as possible. This FANTASTIC photo, apparently taken yesterday evening on a cell phone camera by a hired videographer hired working with the Battleship Texas Foundation, shows in brilliant detail the condition of USS Texas (BB-35) below the waterline. This peek at the bottom half of the ship is a sight not seen in 32 years. Her last day in dry dock last came in February 1990. The red anti-foul coating on her lower hull is clearly exponentially beyond its useful lifespan, and the massive anti-torpedo blisters added to the ship’s original hull form between 1925-7 are readily discernible. Ironically, while the blisters typically provided additional stability to modernized dreadnoughts during active service, they became Texas’ primary adversary in her battle against flooding during recent years. One of her bilge keels, the angled fin under the port blister, is visible as well; these were passive systems for improving ship stability by reducing roll from side-to-side.

Hopefully additional lower hull photos will be forthcoming over Texas’ months (or, rather, years) in dry dock. The bottom of ships are often relegated to the realm of modelers and shipyard workers, but there’s plenty of interesting features down there that are vital to ship functionality. Not to mention the volume of the lower hull - which figures heavily in the ship’s displacement!

Note: Photo is by Sam Rossiello, and I’m happy to remove the post if desired for IP purposes - but the image was so good that I wanted to share with the broader community and did not know who the photographer was at the time of posting.

Directors,

It is with extreme regret that, after 50 plus years of teaching Military Drum Major camp, I have to inform you we are canceling the 2018 KC camp. The loss of staff and illness of Glenn Wells has made it impossible to conduct the camp this June. If you have already sent in your entries, the money will be returned ASAP in order for you to make other arrangements for your Drum Majors.

I am trying to reach everyone but I lack email addresses for some folks so pass the word if you will.

Please keep Glenn in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully we can resume the camp next year.

Yours for better bands,

Randy Dawson
