Spring Trip -- Myrtle Beach "So how'd it go?" (April 29 --- May 2)
The BHS Marching Band, Jazz Band, and Select Choir ventured to Myrtle Beach, SC for 3 days of competition and relaxation. However, the weather was better in our home state/city, Bridgeton, NJ. Still, if you ask the people who went, I believe they'd all say that they had fun anyway. We stayed at the Landmark Resort, which was located directly on the ocean's coast, and though we were plagued with wind, rain, and cold for the entire trip, we still managed to have fun.
We captured the Excellent rating for each of the groups perform, and although we didn't claim first over any other groups, our Color Guard won the Outsanding Overall Auxillary trophee. Select Choir performed "Welcome Sweet Pleasure" and "Jenny Rebbecca." Jazz Band performed "Working Out," "Jersey Bounce," and "Splanky." Marching Band performed "Corrado." I'm in both Jazz Band and Marching Band.
Although we didn't swim in the ocean, we visited places such as, the Pavilion amusement park, Ripley's 'Believe It Or Not' Museum, Broadway at the Beach, Ripley's Aquarium, and the Attic which was the teen dance club which our jazz band performed in and where members of the band and choir danced.
By the way even though the initial letters of the paragraphs above spell T W A, we traveled to SC by tour bus.
