Well, it's been a busy month! Carissa had a cheer camp and band camp over the past two weeks. Okay, go ahead and say it, "One time . . . in band camp . . ." Now we can move on:
Last week was pre-camp for band. She went to the high school each day for a few hours and learned all of the basics of marching. Two of those days, she went to cheer choreography instead. She is very happy with her new cheer routine. It's fun and she gets to be front and center for the dance.
Then this week she went away to Leesburg for band camp. She left on Monday at 6 am and we had to go pick her up Friday. It was the first time she'd been away that long without one of us. Unlike cheer trips, the band was pretty diligent about keeping the kids safe and out of trouble. Boys and girls were on separate floors, they did bed checks, taped doors, etc. She learned a lot this week. She had been sick with allergies all week, which affected how much fun she had. They were outside all morning and she said it was incredibly hot. They had indoor music practice all afternoon, then fun activities at night. She made many new friends and says now that it's over she realizes it was fun.
The most surreal moment was watching/hearing the band practicing and knowing it wasn't part of my activities, but part of my daughter's. Ugh. They did well and learned a lot. They have almost their whole show!
So, loyal blog readers, you'll have something new to read about other than cheer and new pictures to see this year! Yay!
