HERSHEY PARK!!!!!!

Oh.Em.Gee! Crossroads South and Crossroads North competed in a competition at Hershey Park called Music in the Parks. Almost all of the schools's bands and choirs go and compete with other middle- and high-schools. My school, Crossroads South, took first in everything in our division and our soloist, Steph got Outstanding Soloist Award. Crossroads North, our sister school, took first in almost everything in their division:

Walking onto the bus, my friends and I were excited. No one wanted to use the bus' s bathroom, so after a 3 hour trip with only one pit stop, we reached Hershey Lodge. Almost the entire hotel had been rented out, especially for our two schools. We were given room keys and told to go our rooms and change into concert dress (white blouse on top, black skirt/pants on bottom and a black tie for the boys or cumberbund for the Jazz band/ensemble). My roomies and I got changed, did our make-up, and boarded the bus again. We got to the first school, where all the choirs performed. We bussed up again and headed for Hershey High School. We were there for at least two hours while ALL the bands performed. We sat and watched when we weren't performing. After that, we went back to Hershey Lodge, where we were given a lovely (not) dinner in the dining hall. My table consisted of the people in the pic on my images page and a few others. We got back to our rooms and everyone stayed up late. On Saturday, we had the whole day to roam Hershey Park, except for two check-ins and the awards ceremony. on Saturday, 12 busses worth of exhausted, happy musicians got back to school and into the arms of expectant parents.
