Orientation weekend has come and gone. Many faces (old and new), stories, and pictures came and went with it. It was a great first weekend for the group.
It started when I arrived on Friday afternoon (it's all about Robbie Powers, you know that!) And everyone except Patrick was at the house. We had a light rehearsal then headed out to see Indiana Jones. It was so good to be with the fellas and relaxing once again.
The next day we had a few visitors including Matty Labak, Paul Toms, and Townsend. We spent the day rehearsing and getting settled in some more. Sunday was the day that the majority of the alumns came on down. We were joined by Wrobel, Arjun, Joey, Tim, Nate, Fozz, Vic, and (Insert the last name or two I'm forgetting). It was a good time. The old guys helped us newer guys get familiar once again with what it means to be in Hyannis Sound and perform like we do. That evening was filled with Sam Diego's and many stories. We seemed to have embarrassed a girl who was celebrating her birthday at the restaurant. We were asked to sing Happy Birthday to her by her boyfriend. Nothing says limelight more than 20 dudes singing Happy Birthday to you in the middle of a busy restaurant.
On Monday, the current members spent the day rehearsing and grilling. You better believe I was back in my spot right in front of that fire-y iron beast in the backyard. Still got it, I'm told. We had our meeting where we pick our new songs for this summer and I can't begin to tell you how amazing they are. I'll leak clues daily over on my twitter updates to the left of these entries.
SO, we are officially up and running. Sturgis Charter was a good time today and we're off to the Child Safety Conference at Western New England College. Giddyup!
