Last Day - Friday

Well, the theme of the week didn't disappoint by raining again in the morning...this time almost the entire morning. A little bit of rehearsal was squeezed in, in between rain clouds. After looking at radar, it was decided that the kids will pack while it rains before lunch, eat lunch and then head out for some field rehearsal. Unfortunately, it was raining after lunch as well. It is 2:00 now, and it looks like the sun is trying to peek out and the kids are heading out to finally get some (hopefully) substantial practice in. See you all tonight at the show starting at 7:00pm!

Day 5 - Thursday

Rain, rain, go away! More rain this morning changed the schedule again. Instead of rehearsal on the field after breakfast, sectionals were held indoors. Field rehearsal began around 10:30. After lunch, the students had more rehearsal on the field, with a popsicle break in the afternoon. Following dinner, rehearsal was held until 8pm, at which time the kids were released to go get ready for the dance. At 8:45pm, five Berrien County Public School buses picked us up to transport us to the dance location nearby. From 9-11pm, the kids were able to have fun dancing, snacking and playing cards and board games. When we returned, the seniors got together in the lobby for awhile to decorate t-shirts and hang out. Mr. Phillips joined them as well. Lights out for most was around 11:30pm, seniors, around 12:00am.

Day 4 - Wednesday

Rehearsal started today at 8:15 for everyone. It wasn't for long though, because a storm rolled in. During the rain delay, the winds went to a nearby indoor auditorium and worked on the music. Chaperones hung out in the lobby and listened while we planned our skit. We are all in love with the music already and know that you will be too. An hour or so of rehearsal was squeezed in before lunch, and then sectionals were held after lunch. After a popsicle break at 2:30, it was back to the field. Skits were held tonight, with each section performing their prepared skit. Even the chaperones participated. There were lots of laughs! Lights out 11:30pm.
