Band Trip Part 2

Here is the much anticipated gym floor picture. This is a picture of the girls side. Each night Mr. Kuske (the band director) gave them lights out and the kids were so exhausted that they actually fell asleep pretty fast. He wouldn't even let them whisper after lights out. It was funny because the first night the kids tested the waters a bit. After lights out, someone coughed, then someone else and so on until there were ALOT of coughs going on. Mr. Kuske came in and put stop to that right then and there. He said absolutely NO more coughing. I was holding back my own cough (a real one) as hard as I could. I've been coughing for several weeks from a cold. I told him about it later and he laughed. The funniest thing about sleeping on the floor with 200 people is the SNORING!! It kept us chaperones in stitches. The girls were much worse snorers. And then there was the occasional outburst from someone talking in their sleep. The chaperones woke up early each morning to get in the bathrooms before the girls. That was interesting .... Even though Jons eyes are closed on this one, I wanted you to see him with his many admirers. For some reason (I keep forgetting to ask him), during snack outside, someone started singing happy birthday to him. The entire band chimed in and EVERYONE was singing happy birthday to him. I just shook my head.....he's taking after his Dad, who is always telling people it's his birthday. Then when he was inside and visiting the girls before lights out, they all started singing to him AGAIN!! He's a funny guy.......... The girl in the blue in the middle( who also has her eyes closed) is who he went to homecoming with. Her name is Jackie.

You know, here in Texas they always have a boys gymn and a girls gymn in each school. Do you? I know everything worked out peachy, but next time you might suggest using separate gymns for the boys and girls. It would just seem more appropriate.....

Yes there were seperate gymns and we actually thought that would have been the best thing, but it wasn't our call. It did all work out and all the kids were so exhausted it wasn't an issue. There were parents that were awake all night. It's the first time a trip like this was done in all the four years Jon's been in band.

I don't think I could ever fall asleep with 200 people in there! I am a very light sleeper...and need white noise on to sleep good anyway!
