Eastern A Choir trip 2010

Monday morning, the first day of Spring break, I was at school at six o'clock waiting for a bus. There are so many things wrong with that picture that I kinda want to cry. But the trip itself was fun. Eleven choir kids, our moody choir teacher, and his awesome significant other loaded up a beast of a bus. We were all pretty psyched 'cause we got to take a Panther bus, which is pretty much just a charter bus, but the school owns it. Ridiculous, no? They actually own two. Anyway. I planned to sleep the whole trip (five hours) but ended up singing the entire time because Andy had found an iPod dock.

Anyway, we got to Miles City, and basically had a blast. Our guest conductor was a guy from Canada (I don't think I ever learned his name) who has choirs there and in Africa. So all of our songs were really wierd, 'cause he got to pick them out. There were three African ones, one from Australia, and a really really odd one from India. Never again. Ever. We learned all those songs in two days. 8 solid hours of rehearsal. We also had to learn the dances to go with the African ones. I repeat, never again.

So pretty much I'm just gonna post some pics that we took. None are self-explanitory, so make sure you read the captions.



We went to Dairy Queen for lunch one day. And there were cows. So I insisted on posing with them.



The baby cow. And the other cow being fed a ham sandwich. That was just wierd.



Making purple. We had been informed at the beginning of the trip that making purple was strictly prohibited. (boys were blue, girls were pink, you get the picture. We weren't even allowed to share bus seats) It became an ongoing joke. Andy therefore made MUCH purple. That's our choir teacher sitting behind us daintily drinking his espresso. By the way it's not EXpresso, it's ESSpresso. It is in no way "quick coffee", we were informed.



Andy poledancing sideways.



Ye gads, it's a fad! Cody follows suit...



Danielle tried and failed. Kinda.



The trip back, late Tuesday night. Probably around 11. This is Drew. He can sleep in the funniest positions. Pretty much hilarious. He's got his arms draped over my seat. He woke up a little later, but his arms didn't. He had to flap them around for another ten minutes.



More sideways poledancing. This time both Andy and Cody are doing it. You can just barely see Cody way in the back. He's the one in the sideways purple shirt.
