The sounds of Camp Old Indian

While I am set to record quite a bit of video next week at Camp Old Indian I will also be recording the sounds of Camp at the same time. Part of the purpose of writing this blog is to set up a check list of sounds I would love to capture;

• The wildlife like the various kinds of frogs you can hear during the day and more specifically the early evening



• Merit Badge calls



• Rifle and shotgun shooting



• Announcements following the meals



• Troop reports as the flag pole



• Reveille (Hmm.... I may be showing up earlier than expected)



• Scoutmasters, Campers and Staff chatting around the trading post



• Swimming



• The sounds of the dance and drums



• Dining Hall chatter



• I would love to capture the sound of rain hitting a tin roof but the odds are against me



• The sound of landscape machinery like the camp tractor



• The sound of shovels



• The sound of hammers, etc. in the handicraft shop



• Taps (I may stay later than expected unless I can convince a bugler to play special #'s)



• The brush of feet against the main road gravel in front of the Trading Post



• An example of a class being taught

I'll probably use my Edirol R-09HR high end wav/mp3 recorder to capture these sounds as if they were being heard at camp and less pure if you get my drift. Any other ideas on camp sounds you would like recorded for possible inclusion into a video and/or archived separately?
