This one time at Band camp....

[Digitalpotato]

....the high-school guests decided to make an utter mess. Last year the kids had trashed the rec centre, but this year.....


...some little kid decided to pee all over a comfy chair in a student centre lounge, and a janitor then saw the mess and finally managed to get the people in charge to realize that maybe a kid actually ISN'T Entirely innocent. (I've mentioned this in another thread, as to why my manager had not booted a conference guest who called her a nazi and why they didn't get yelled at for trashing the rec centre) So he rounded up the band kids and threatened to take away the debit cards the band camp is paying for. I have no idea whether the kid fessed up but I'm sure he did, I heard this from the janitors who saw this and had to clean up after the kid who mistook the chair for a urinal.

...only for them to realize another kid flushed a buncha paper towels down the toilet.

Dammit, when I saw the title I was reminded of my high school days. Because I played flute, the most common line muttered was...

"This one time at band camp..."

You all know the rest.

Well it wasn't Band Camp, but The Oklahoma Sooners football team were playing for the National Championship, so the college band was with them and our Band director got us the gig of playing for the Basketball team who was hoasting a mini-tournament over the weekend. Which required us to stay at a hotel.

Let's see,...

The preacher's son was caught with a Playboy & a Penthouse

Four were caught in the hotel bar trying to buy drinks.

Everyone ignored the assigned rooms and kept switching until me and one other kid ended up in the bigest room by ourselves.

And while everyone kept pranking and doing who knows what in all the other rooms, ours was around the corner and nobody knew we were there, so we had a quiet night's sleep.

Wow, you had a better time at band camp than my sister did at debate camp.

I never did band camp, but I went on a lot of band trips.

I must have had the most boring band, ever. The most outrageous thing I can remember is the guy who would drink anything and everything we put into a glass for a bunch of cash from the other kids.

I knew a guy like that in college. Well, he was in his late 20s and a part-time student, so not exactly a college guy, but he would eat or drink anything you gave him. And not even for money, just for the hell of it. Of course, one time I made this ridiculous chocolate milkshake concoction in the cafeteria with about five different types of chocolate and/or fudge in it and jokingly suggested he try it. So then he said "okay", grabbed it out of my hand, and downed it in one gulp.

He knew exactly what was in it. In fact, he watched me make it. And he's severely diabetic, plus allergic to all forms of insulin. He wound up collapsing during a nasty nosebleed later that evening...

I went to band camp. Regretted teh three days I was there too. I wished I had never gone.

I got stuck in a room with three people who absolutely hated me. They went through my luggage, and on the last day, after I had already packed and took my stuff down to the bus, poured water on the bed and told the teacher I had peed the bed.

Thankfully, the teacher didn't believe them - even felt and sniffed the bed to make sure! - and told them to leave me alone. But for weeks afterwards people were telling everyone I used pencils to "get off". I had a notebook, a pencil and an eraser (one of the 'pencil' ones, you know, the long white ones?) in my suitcase, just in case I couldn't bring my backpack (which I did). Yeah... not a happy year for me. Junior high and High school were the years I WANT to forget.

I remember standing off the high school band presidency with a Boy Scout knife. They thought my hair was too long for school status.

It was about the same as in my present avatar... But it was 67/68 in Utah.
