MUSIC CAMP! =D Day 1

On the 2nd of June to the 4th of June, around 80 music students from St George went to camp at STANWELL TOPS! :D

Because Susie was taking me, I arrived at her house at 6:45 am x_x. We left her house, and got to school at 7:10am, when we were meant to be there at 7:30am...2 other girls from our grade were already there, so we went up to the Music room to start moving the instruments. Since the rooms were locked, we managed to call over a cleaner to open the door. =D Then we couldn't be bothered I suppose, so we moved our own instruments down, and Susie and I started playing on the piano. I was then seen playing the piano by some other chick in some other grade so I ran off. xD Then more people started coming and eventually we got all the instruments and luggage loaded onto the buses.

We left school at about 8:30am and despite our endless banging on the bus window, none of our friends ever figured to look up at the bus window and see crazy people banging on the window. The bus ride was around 40 mins, but that's realllyyy short for a camp. I mean, we weren't even in the middle of no-where. Our campsite was right next door to a whole crapload of houses. After we got there, we unloaded all the instruments and luggage and waited in the main hall for around 20 mins for the teachers to be briefed. Then we got our room allocations and everyone went where they wanted to go. I sprayed Impulse right under the fire alarm, and then later on found out that if you sprayed deodorant near the fire alarm, it will set it off. >.> We then had morning tea and then the people in Orchestra unpacked and got ready for band practice. After 1 and a half hours of practicing, we had lunch. Then it was concert band & intermediate band. We had afternoon tea at 3pm and started our first activity at 3:15. I had cart racing, and my group, consisting of myself, Angela Mao, Antonia Gage and Bianca So, won both rounds of cart racing by far.

After that it was Stage band practice or free time for the people not in Stage band. At 6:00pm we had dinner, and at 7:00pm we had our evening activity, which was a movie (Get Smart). Then we had supper at 8:30pm and we returned to our room after that. Because I had 5 cups of tea that day, I couldn't get myself to sleep, and eventually, I went to sleep at 12, only to wake up at 2am, thinking it was 6am. After staying up for 2 hours and 40 mins, I finally fell asleep, and woke up at 7:20am

/Day 1 over.
