Today was the big showcase! And it couldn’t have been Awesomer!
As it started early (1 pm), it didn’t take up much of the day. After a full week of volunteering each and every day, it felt crazy to have free time in the morning and in the evening. What a luxury, yo.
As the first band took the stage, I was so nervous for the singer. She had struggled a bit during the week, and I wanted her to have a great experience. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried. She totally killed it! I was so happy for her, and then the next band took the stage, and the next. And each time, the girls were owning their stage time and knocking it out of the park. I was so proud! I was so in awe! It was phenomenal.
By the time “When Pigs Fly” took the stage (the band I’ve been coaching all week), I knew they had it. I told them so and they seemed to know it, too. They went up there, they played their hearts out and it was amazing! I don’t know what to tell you. They were great.
After the rest of the bands had performed their songs, they all got up on stage and sang the camp theme song. At the song’s close, the house lights came up and the club began to empty.
Another Rock Camp was finished and successful. The best one yet! And the bar just keeps getting higher.
I’m wiped out now. I just don’t have it in me to write anything more. Tomorrow I’ll post my wrap-up. It will probably be all about feelings. I have a lot of them, you know.
Right now, I think I’ll try to unwind. But I want to stay up on this cloud. Floating feels so grand.
