Last Day of Band Camp

The next day, no body wanted to get up! We were still tired from the dance, but we each pushed each other out of bed, and fought a bit to wake up. Finally we were all up, and ready to go to breakfast. Finally, it was here! Our week was finished at band camp! It was our last day! I couldn't believe that the week had gone by so quickly! It almost seemed as if our cabin were just a group of college girls who were in the same dorm room, or we were all friends who were renting an apartment together. (or at least most of us…..) The last day, was of course, our performance day. Were the parents came down from Ohio to watch us perform our show! So this day was bound to be busy!

We headed down to Kimmel hall for breakfast, we got to cut in front of the sophomores! It was cool!! We ate our breakfast, then headed down to the field for intense marching and practice! Surprisingly I remembered all the sets we learned. Then we went back for lunch. Before lunch, though, we had a freshman meeting to go over our skit for skit night, which was tonight.

Most of the rest of the day was like normal, except our field practices were intense! We had our lunch, free time, sectionals, mass band, and our two other field practices. During our last filed practice, we were gathered under the scaffolding, and a little meeting was held for all the band members. Mr. Bherman gave us a little lecture telling us how much we had done, and that we did good. Then we went back to our cabins, to get changed. Tonight was the night, wee were showing our show to the parents (that's a little redundant, showing our show =P just though I'd say that!) , and we had skit night, and the bonfire.

We had to wear our summer uniform for our show. So we got changed into our uniforms, then headed to the auditorium to get our instruments, and practice in mass band for a little bit. After mass band, our parents started to arrive. We got our instruments together, and the band gathered in the parking lot. There we got into lines of four, and then marched down to the field, were our parents awaited us. The we got onto the field to our first set, and performed our show! It was great! Afterwards, each person picked a parent or friend who was in the crowd to come out, and we taught them how we learned our sets. I picked my dad, and Jesslyn got my mom, since her parents weren't there. Then we put our instruments away while our parents proceeded to the auditorium. We were given some time to take our parents to our cabins, before the skits, and show off our "neat" cabin's to them. (right!! Ha!! I don't think neat would describe our cabin….clean yes, but not neat!=P) I showed mine off to my parents, luckily it was half way clean. They were surprised at how small it was, but we didn't mind. We were used to the cabin.

Then the parents went back to the auditorium, and we followed. Skit night was awesome! Our skit was basically a "bunch of noise" as Nick put it. And he was kind of right! The sophomores skit was funny too. It was basically what they thought band camp was like. The Juniors skit was set like the Oprah show. It was funny too! Now the seniors skit….wasn't really a skit. But we turned it into what looked like a skit. They called all the freshman up and told us to get into four lines….well, we couldn't get into four lines!! It was funny!!! Finally we did, and they just came up and said

"BOW DOWN!" so we bowed down and started to say our chant.

"bow down before the ones I serve! I'm gonna get what I deserve!"

The last skit of the night was the counselor's skit. They had almost the whole week to plan theirs out, so it was, or course the best. They sang a "musical" about our band camp, and it was basically the sights and sounds of band camp. Of course it was title Sights and Sounds of Band Camp (which is what I got the title of for my other band story…. And no I didn't copy the title….I just improvised!) After the last skit, we all said our goodbyes, but nicks closer to the program was so funny!

Nick said, "Our next group is…wait do we have a next group? No!…..wow…ok! Our parents drove all this way to see that…..wow…….OK! Well I guess that's it and I hope you all enjoyed this! Good bye!"

That was so funny at the time!! So our parents left, and skit night was over. Now it was time to get ready for the bon fire. We went and got our dog tags….that we got on the first day, it's basically a string with two tags on it…one has your name the other your senior's…..and our senior signatures. I, unfortunately, lost my senior signatures paper, so I didn't have mine. Then we headed down to the bon fire, which was by the field. Also I got a drink on my way down, then we sat around the fire, and the emotions came out. The bon fire was a emotional tradition, it marked the seniors last year together in band camp, and this was a time were they bonded together and said their farewells.

It started off with a story that Mr. Perry told us. I don't remember what the story was about, but I do know that it was really good! Then one by one, the seniors all said their emotional farewells to the underclassmen and counselors. After they got through saying their good byes, they'd call up their Freshman, and then they'd throw the dog tags and Signatures into the fire. Slowly, one bye one we got through the seniors. The girls all cried, well most of them, and the guys stayed tough, but you knew they were sad too. Nick on the other hand, he cried, he just let it out. But it was ok, because everyone understood that he had the right to cry, this kind of stuff was emotional! After the all the seniors had said their good bye's, the underclassmen were sent back to their cabins. The fun for our cabin, was just about to start.

The bon fire night, seniors get to stay up all night, so our cabin decided, why not us to! So we all got into our pj's and went downstairs and had a small slumber party! We played music, munched on food, and even played poker; we gambled with the food in poker! It was a blast! Not everyone wanted to stay up all night, but me, Kelly, Lindsay, and Anna did! So we did stay up all night! It was so much fun!

Once everyone was either snoozing, or out cold, me, Kelly, Lindsay, and Anna all went upstairs to the empty room. There we camped out, and started our all nighter. We started off playing poker, then we started to chat about girl things, you know boys, our hair, clothes, boys, music, shopping, boys, Spanish sop opera's, boys….you get the drift=P. While we were talking about the sop opera's, Kelly was doing my hair. Then some how we got to talking about one of the cabin's that is haunted. The cabin was built on top of an old cemetery, and the girls in that cabin said that one time they were standing on the porch and the doors were closed, then all of a sudden the screen door just started to move back and forth. There was no wind or and all the doors were closed so it couldn't have been a drift. They got freaked by it. Well it freaked us too, and we started talking about ghosts and totally scaring the living out of each other. So we stopped talking about ghosts, and started playing cards to get our mind off it.

It worked, but deep in our minds the ghost's still lingered. Then Jesslyn decided to come up, and we were right in the middle of a card game. She comes up, soundlessly, and slowly opens the door without making a sound. Me and Lindsay saw the door open, but didn't see Jesslyn, so we start screaming, I like backed away from the door. While me and Lindsay are screaming a bloody murder, Jesslyn walks in, and I fell back laughing my ass off!! I was laughing so hard with shock and surprise that I was crying! Jesslyn just looked at us then walked back out. Me, Anna, Lindsay, and Kelly just sat there and cracked up! This happened to us two more times, on by Heather and the other by Kenzie.

The rest of the night, me, Lindsay, Kelly, and Anna, stayed up and girl talked. While we were chit chatting, somehow we got to talking about sop operas. Then Anna started telling us about these Spanish sop operas we watches! It was funny! And the whole time she was telling us about the sop operas, Kelly was doing my hair….o yes it turned out just lovely! =P And would you believe that during all these events, a storm was taking place outside?? It was cool to watch!! Finally, one by one, everyone got up. Then we got busy and started or packing, because right after breakfast we were packing our luggage and instruments and heading home.

For our room, it was funny seeing everyone pack. More than likely everyone had their parents help them pack so it was all nice and neat. Now we had to pack on our own, so we were shoving and pushing things into our suitcases. Most of us had to have someone sit on the suitcase while they were zipping it up! (yes I admit I was one of those people!=P) Then we raided our refrigerator and grabbed our drinks that were in there. We also found some belongings that no one claimed, so we got a box and put them in there. Then we headed down to breakfast.

Once we arrived back from our breakfast of leftovers, we grabbed our stuff and trudged to the U-Hauls were everything was once again being loaded. While we were loading, Mr. B. said that we had to go back to our cabin, because some people had left their things! (wonder who?!!!!…not gonna name anyone…) This got some of us mad because we were in a hurry, but nonetheless, we went back. We found a pair of marching shoes, some water bottles, some juice, and a pair of socks. So we added those to our lost box, and went around to our cabin members to see if there was a match.

Finally, we all loaded ALL our stuff onto the U-Hauls. Waving a final farewell to our camp, we loaded into the buses to our way home!…..YEAH RIGHT! All we did was load onto the buses and go right to a seat, drop our luggage down, and slump into the seat. At least I did! I was dead tired from the all nighter! I fell asleep about three times on the bus ride home…and I was OUT cold literally! My friend was poking me and she said that I was REALLY sleeping….she though I passed out! Finally the bus came to a stop at our high school, our home sweet home! Our whole week at band camp was finally over! We were home once again! I didn't want it to end, well I wanted the marching to end, but I wanted to stay in the cabin with my friends! We had SO much fun!

……….So ends my time at band camp! IT WAS A BLAST!!….who knows what will happened next summer at band camp…..like they say…."One time at band camp!"
