It's official. I'm back to the pre-kiddos summer staple of a week of band camp. Well, for one year anyway. I'll go to Pitt and chaperone, but I'm not going to Hays. Not happening. I've given the man in charge a year's notice, which means he'll be after me for the next year to go. Anyway... A week of 201 (preliminary total) high school kids. A week of dorm life. A week of seeing midnight and 6 AM in the same day. A week of dorm food. Don't want to go with me yet? Well, I will admit, it doesn't necessarily sound like fun yet. But add to that the hilariously fun group of chaperones we have, the great kids we get to work with (who totally outnumber the ones who get in trouble for behavior/attitude problems - although I haven't forgotten about those...), and the day of the parade and pre-game/half-time performance, and it is a pretty amazing week. I always end up in tears during the pre-game show. It could be that I'm so utterly exhausted by Saturday evening, but by the end of the week they turn into a phenomenal band.
So, if you happen to be in the Pittsburg area on July 31, check out the band. Yeah, the Shrine Bowl is there too, but really, the band is SO much better! :)
