Here it is everyone. The blog you've been waiting for: The California University Blog.
I'm going to start off everything by early this morning. I woke up at 5:45am.....for me, that's extremely early. I am not a morning person so I felt like I was sleepwalking the whole morning. Until everyone else showed up at school. Around 7:15am, we headed for the bus waiting for us but! we had to wait for our Trumpet 2 girl, Megan (my friend mentioned in previous blogs). Finally, she arrived and we left.....for breakfast :) We got Subway breakfast! Seniority obviously was in place so all the high school members got to eat at a table and by the time we were done eating and the middle schoolers got their food, they had to eat on the bus >:) We then proceeded to drive for a. very. long. time. all the way out to California, PA. That ride took a long time, but I got to see some horses so I was happy.
When we got to Cal U, we (the middle and high school jazz bands) got to go to a sort of "workshop" thing where the middle school played for an hr (and got criticized basically). After their time was up, it was our turn to play and the middle school went over to the Sight Reading Workshop. After we were done playing, we went to the S.R.W. and had a bunch of fun messing with the southern guy in charge of it. Whenever we were all done, we went and watched/ listened to the Cal U jazz band preform. They're amazing. Literally. After about 45mins of that, we went back to the bus on our way to lunch at Eat N' Park.
I was about to pee on the bus, FYI. So whenever we arrived at Eat N' Park, I bolted to the bathroom and when I got out, everyone was seated and I had no idea where they were. Well I found where the funner people were sitting and sat with them. When I ordered, I obviously got a Waffle for Wacky Waffle Wednesday. Our waitress didn't hear me say waffle so I got a dinner I didn't order. My student teacher noticed this and confronted her. I got a free Waffle. I only got charged for my milkshake and the thing I didn't order. AMAZING. While we were eating, we (me, Thomas [Rolf], Livie [Lisle], Jimi [Franz the butler], and Alex [trombone pit player]) all started singing the Sound of Music songs....really loud....tables started string at us funny, but the best part was when I saw one of the waitresses singing with us :)
Anyways, it was somebody's birthday in the middle school jazz band. The employees started coming out with a cupcake or sundae with a candle in it. I started clapping in my booth...Our director, Mr. Leopold, stood up and joined in with the employees. So everyone else who was on the field trip with us all got up and joined in with them. They were confused out of their minds. The employees kept giving us strange looks when we were clapping and singing right behind them. It was soooo funny! We were thanked for joining in and then sat back down again. We left a little while later.
On our bus ride back, we SCREAMED Bohemian Rhapsody. 2 people wanted us to shut up, but no worries, we over powered their protests. It was very very fun! :D Now, I'm sitting here, being hyper from my Mocha Java milkshake and 2 chocolate covered coffee beans. That has been my day :) which was amazing. I hope your Wacky Waffle Wednesday was filled with as much fun as me.
I'm going to put a link here for our Jazz Band Mascot. His name is Sleepy Joe the Egg. He is made of amazing. We document his life with random picture. Here is the photo album on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=185639538123406&id=100000320824522&aid=42499
