Potpourri - Monday 7/16
When the students arrived at the main campfire on Tuesday they would see there were a stack of plain looking tribal drums on a table. On Buster's table there was a basket full of glitter, glue, feathers and other moddable decorating stuff. When everyone was seated Buster clapped his hands (he was wearing his fake hand today) together and began to speak.
"Heeeeeey everyone. So today we are going to learn a bit about Indian Tribal Ceremonies. Indians lived here in America before Christopher Columbus came and gave all of them syphilis. Busy man, that guy. They didn't wear shirts and were the inventors of face painting." said Buster. He had no idea what he was talking about. "And they are also the ones who defeated the dinosaurs. Obviously they didn't do a very good job of it."
"Anyways, Indians used to drums to express how they feel during these ceremonies. They also um...drummed. A lot." Buster said. He paused for a moment. "Use every part of the buffalo."
"So you've got your drums on that table over there. They're a little plain but that's why I've got all this stuff from the store!" he said, sticking his fake hand in the basket on his desk. When he pulled it out it was covered in glitter and feathers. "Decorate them up! Try not to get any of the feathers near your face. You could poke an eye out."
"After you're done decorating them I'm going to give you a ceremony the Indians performed back in the day." said Buster. "And you just play what you feel. Maybe include a little dance or something...lyrics are always encouraged! And you get to keep the drums. Perhaps you can play at a Bar Mitzvah or something."
"And as a special added bonus that has nothing to do with the lecture, Chad was kind enough to bring in his kitty cat!" said Buster excitedly. "I love it when you guys get involved like this!"
"Oh, and before I forget. Next week we are going to learn how to be neither seen nor heard. So wear something that's inconspicuous." he said. "Sweater vests are always good. Nothing that makes you look like a trashy whore."
