I just got back from chaperoning a band trip up to D.C. Thirty-eight kids and 9 chaperones on a bus from Miami to D.C. and back. I'm not sure that I would ever do that again but it's good to try everything once, right? Dip your head in boiling oil, chaperon a bus trip...it's good to live it all!
It really was a lot of fun getting to know all of the kids and I love Washington but it was a seriously tiring ordeal. The band did very good; they are a two year middle school and they just barely got beat by the three year middle school that happens to be a music magnate school so they held their own.
The boy got one of only a handful of personal trophies; I think around seven were handed out total out of around a couple hundred kids so we're pretty proud of the brat-a-tat. He got his trophy for his guitar solo during on of the jazz bands songs.
Here is a pic of him in the warm-up room before they went on stage:
In other news, I start back to school next week and I'm scared as hell!
