Valemount/Sun Peaks
Thurs.- Ok, so we left at 3:45 pm and at 6:30, we stopped in Hinton for dinner. I went to Tim Horton's. Then we drove some more to the Valemount Cranberry Lodge Hotel. Who names a Hotel after a cranberry? Fri.- Breakfast at 7:30 am. Then for a change of a pace, we drove some more to Sun Peaks, we arrived at 1:30 pm. We all had to watch each other's performances. So at 3:20 we went to watch the mixed ensemble( male and female choir-auditioned), then pasta dinner at the Mantles restaurant. Then we went to the concert choirs performance at 5:50. Then there was a student social/dance at 9:10. Then we hung out in the boy's room until the room checkers came at around 11, girls totally outnumbered the boys, 6 to 4. Me, Lindsay, and Patrice were on the bed, Matt was lying at our feet, Trent was on the bed with us all too and on the other bed was Kayla, James, Julie and Nick and I think Shay was on the chair or on the other bed too Sat.- We didn't set our alarm 'cuz we thought we would get a wake up call- I ended up waking up at around 6:30. Breakfast was at 8:15. 9:00- vocal workshop. 10:30-12:30-concert bands performance and workshop. We played Simple Gifts, Donkey Riding, Radetzky March and Rolling Stones. Then burger buffet at 1:00 Then the band went to watch Roland Michener High School band at 1:30. I hated the elevators, we left in plenty enough time but the elevator was going so slow we were 3 minutes late and the doors were already closed so we waited until the 12 minute song was over then we went in. Then at 3:00 Stage band performed at the Bentos Day Lodge.Then at 4:00 me, Matt, Julie, Nick, and Shay did the Amazing race, we had to answer a bunch of questions. One of them asked what the time was under the clock tower, we put the day it opened. The answer was A Time To Ride because there were seats under it. Then we had a chicken dinner, then some of us went swimming. Then there was a festival showcase at 9:00. Same thing with the elevators, we were 2 minutes late, the doors were still open. Our choir was the only one asked to perform at it. Sun.- Lindsay set her alarm for 6:30 but all 4 of us slept through it, she woke up at 7:20 or 7:40 and figured something was wrong because it was too bright for 6:00. None of us got breakfast. Then there was a massed choir performance at 8:30. Then a massed band performance at 9:30. There were 47 flutes, 50 clarinets, etc... Then at 11:00 we left Sun Peaks, stopped in Hinton for supper, then got back at 9:20. In all, I took 76 pictures over the weekend. The shops were horrible, they were little and expensive and had nothing good so the only thing I bought was food and water. So, that was my fun weekend. I recorded the massed performace but it can't show the image but I'm not deleting it because I still want it and to make sure it doesn't work.

oh, so jealous!!!
I so miss Tim Horton's...I think the Cranberry Hotel is a cool name...funky and different!!!
and, hey, a burger buffet sounds so cool...
well, sounds like it was a fun trip all in all...
you did alot in such a short time. glad you had fun
I'm glad you're jealous. I put that on there just to torment you. lol. The buffets were dumb 'cuz we all know the point of buffets is to go back and get some more but U couldn't get more, they only made so much. But for the amount of people that were there, they did a very good job of serving it up quickly.
sounds like a blast...my band trips weren't this fun...how come? i went to the same high school as you!
I know what you mean, Brittany...our band trips were never that cool either...our most exciting band trip was to Red Deer...lol
oh, wait...we did go to Rocky Mountain House for a band camp once...does that count??? lol (and that was like gr. 8)
You didn't have the same teacher, though. I guess that's what made the difference.
or the same school...lol
