Cadet Camp 2007 started at 9:00 P.M. Friday night. Meeting with George Hopkins (corps director) talks and sounds like a band director, has a good sense of humor and many funny stories. As he talked a bout the summer tour and the requirements on the kids, I was amazed at how many time he mentioned Rule #9 without calling it that! He said that they expected a certain level of maturity from the members that allowed each of them to take care of themselves and their problems during the tour. Went to parent meeting. Marching a summer with the Cadets will run about $2500 (yikes!) excluding travel to and from camps and spending money. Took a tour of equipment truck and food truck. WOW! Saw Laura warming up with the horn line being led by Gino Cipriani! 70+ horns and no woodwinds! She gave me the thumbs up! Going back to help prepare lunch!

That sounds soooo awesome, i'm jealous. Keep the updates rolling as you find them out. I'm sure i'm not the only one who wants to hear.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so excited for Laura. We should all be very proud of her. It sounds so exciting to be a part of something like that. And expensive...OUCH! Well, that really is the opportunity of a lifetime.
