Here is the infamous "back of the bus" where Ryan(far left) is entertaining us with one of his many tuba jokes. I was back there next to Ben(far right), but had to crop myself out so it would fit on the page! From left to right are Ryan, Rosemary, Daniel, Catie, Josh, and Ben.
Here it is-the amazing pink bus that was basically our "home" for two and a half weeks. We all grew quite fond of it, and shall never forget those hours of joke swapping, story telling, bawdy Irish drinking song singing, and other things that we can't mention in case our parents are reading this that we spent on that bus. What follows is a short photo journal of some of the highlights.
Here's Daniel, our percussionist, enjoying some Metallica in one of the coveted "back of the bus" seats, so prized because the chaperones refused to go back there to see what was going on!
(above right)Here is Ross the horn player making use of and critiquing the bus's fine bathroom facilities. His comments? "Ewww!"
Here are Katie(a violinist) and her grandmother, Virginia(a chaperone) enjoying the rollicking, bouncing ride through the lovely British countryside. Their smiles say it all.
Pictured at left is our fearless driver Vance. Vance, I am convinced, could drive our bus ANYWHERE successfully, and have us all come out unscathed. But Vance hasn't always been a magnificent bus driver. Before he took to driving pink transport vehicles, he was a male stripper and model! By the way, Vance is somewhere in England and will most likely never see this website. *whew*
