Welcome to Band Camp 2012!
Once our seven buses arrived in Berrien Springs, it was time for our fast food lunch. Our choices were McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Dairy Queen or Subway. The best part of lunch? Watching the local residents' faces as all 269 of us spread out and overwhelmed the restaurants. After arriving at 1:50pm, we were ready to head to nearby Andrews University at 2:45pm.
Our incredible luggage trailer volunteers had unloaded the luggage, making it easy to find for all of us. Chaperones then gathered the kids and went inside the air-conditioned dorm. Rehearsal began around 4:30pm. By dinnertime at 6:30, there was quite a bit of drill movement happening on the field already!
After our Subway dinner, there was more rehearsal until around 9:30pm. At that time, the chaperones organized a game of Dragon Tag on the field under the lights.Teams of 12 linked arms and the last one in the line put a handkerchief in their back pocket, hanging out. Teams had to stay linked and run around, with the first person in the line trying to steal another team's "tail".
Lights out at 11:30pm.
