So there have been lots of things going on since my last post but I want to write about the most recent, first. The Indoor Percussion finals were this weekend in Dayton, OH. Blue Knights had an awesome show (yes, it's already on YouTube) and I wish I had been there to see it...or perform in it. They got 6th place with a 92.025 and they won fan favorite. Cuz their show is basically the coolest thing ever.
Anyways, My team found out our 4th round project! (before me since nobody noticed that I wasn't in the room at the time!) We will be traveling about 6 hours to Cave Junction, Oregon. I need to check back into the details about who our sponsor is, but we will be clearing trails and camp grounds, and building playgrounds, information kiosks and possibly an ampitheatre too?! Our housing will be either tents or yurts. We'll be in a pretty small town. But not too far away is Grants Pass, OR.
Funny story about Grants Pass...I think that's where my wallet disappeared about a year ago during drum corps. We had a laundry day there when we were staying in Hidden Valley High School. My next round is about 35 miles from that school and it was one of the prettiest places I've ever been so I can't wait to see the area where we'll be!
Of course, as always, I'm hoping to cross a few items off of my list. Prospective options:
#29. Camp in Oregon (crazy right, I get to do it for 8 weeks!)
#74. Go spelunking (Cave Junction...there really are caves around)
I can't wait! Should be a fun an interesting end to my time in Americorps!
