Merrick played in two weekends of All-Star games and then was (sadly) not chosen for the final All-Star team. However he did go to band camp and had a blast. He almost didn't make it, he was a late entry and they already had a lot of trumpets. But they doubled checked and he was able to go.
He want's to go back next year. They had an AWSOME!!! concert on the day we picked him up. It was wonderful! We ordered the DVD and it should be here soon.... They practiced up to 6 hours a day! Merrick was 1 of 13 (I think) from his school alone. His band teacher had the most students there.
They were able to raft and do a ropes course or climb a rock wall. I wish I had gotten Merrick a disposeable camera so he could have taken so photo's. Merrick's dorm was over the mess hall so he wasn't late for breakfast. He did get some shot's of his bunk when we picked him up and I got some shots of the band as they played. I was only able to get 1/2 the band at a time, it was large.
Only 1/2 the band
Merrick in front of the "roof" access. The boys dorm was upstairs and the mess hall/camp store were down stairs.
