PINE SUMMIT BAND CAMP 2010 - DAY THREE
Short Shine, Rain, Shine and Skit Time
Band Camp Day 3 started beautifully, perfect for P.T. Unfortunately, CRASH! BOOM! BANG! (and that's not the drums) came all too soon. No more hard sprinkles! Two-by-two on floating flip flops, carrying soggy dot books, everyone scrambled inside for all day sectionals. So much for marching.
Finally, after dinner, the sun came out and the whole band was able to practice together on the freshly squeezed basketball courts. After wrapping up a full day of working on music, it was time for Gilbert's Got Talent with fabulous skits and loads of laughs. Thanks to a beautiful duet performed by David Jones and Kenzie Essa the night ended with a standing ovation.
PINE SUMMIT BOOT CAMP - OOPS, I MEAN BAND CAMP 2010 - DAY TWO
Left, Left, Left, Right, Left Band Camp started bright and early today.
By 7 o'clock in the morning everyone was on the basketball courts, even those who had yet to sleep, to run, stretch, push up, jump, twist, and bend. After minimal blood shed they trudged out to the practice field to start learning drill.
By noon it was time to relax and refresh. After a brief respite of chicken, mac and cheese and homemade cookies it was on to sectionals from 1 to 4 and then more field practice. Another brief respite for dinner then back to the grind...in the rain. Okay, this is Arizona, hard sprinkle.
Mr. Libby pushing the "Libby Limits" worked them until 9:30. By then the kids decided the only dancing they were going to do was the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies. It's lights out 'til tomorrow morning.
PINE SUMMIT BAND CAMP 2010 - DAY ONE
It's Raining, It's Pouring, but Mr. Libby is NOT Snoring!
The Tiger Pride arrived at Pine Summit shortly after 2 pm today to some menacing clouds. That did not deter Mr. Libby. Right away he put the kids to work in the gym on their new Dot Books. By 5 everyone was ready for some delicious pizza, homemade crust only thank you very much, and yummy rice krispy treats.
By 6 everyone was expected to be on the marching field with instruments and minds ready to go. The cool breeze was fantastic....for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the wind brought those clouds right to camp, along with the thunder, lightening and of course RAIN. One-hundred-eighteen scrambling teenagers racing for cover. Does Mr. Libby let them go to bed early? No way. To the Bradshaw common area to watch drill of the show they go.
Stay tuned for more updates from Pine Summit 2010!
