First Day of Camp

Hi, everything went great today. The camp is running like clockwork. The kids are happy, and doing a phenomenal job with the first day of rehearsals. We left Roslyn at around 7:45 and arrived at the Ramapo rest stop for a break on the way to Camp Echo. Arriving at the camp at around 10:45am, we unloaded our luggage and proceeded to the Pavillion for the Band Camp Talk. This is where I give a speech to get the kids all psyched up for the coming season. I went over how great a year we had last year, how we are building a dynasty, and how we need to use last years season as a starting point for even more greatness. The kids were excited and totally responsive. The parent camp leaders then went through some logistical items. Upon the conclusion of the band camp rules, the band members were dismissed to set up their cabins. At 12:15 we had a great lunch, baked ziti and other items. The salad bar was amazing. Then to rehearsal at 1:15 to 4:30. A break until dinner at 6. We had a great chicken dinner. Then to the field from 7 to 8:20 where we learned the first song in the show. The band is incredible this year. We can't wait until the first performance is here. Well I have to go to bed. This place was silent from 11:05, I guess we really tired them out. Well wait until tomorrow. Thanks for having such great kids, it is a total honor to teach them.
