I am not familiar with the west coast's Christian colleges, but I know many of them have a week in the summer where 12-18 year olds go to study their instrument and play together in a band/orchestra. I know Pensacola, Bob Jones, and Maranatha all do it. One of my friends used to go to the Pensacola camp every year and she enjoyed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-36048647863619238202010-01-21T14:20:59.000-06:002010-01-21T14:20:59.000-06:00Sally, I wish I could hear them play.

I'm sure she'll enjoy that. <br><br>I understand blogging breaks, I tend to have one between each post as of lately. Honestly, I just don't enjoy posting like I used to. I'm not going to give it up as there are too many of you that I want to keep in touch with, so I'll keep hanging around and post when it's convenient for me.<br><br>Did you get the acorn tops and did they work? I'll be checking in to see when you return :-).<br><br>Blessings, JulieOldSchoolMarmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-80465449487287140672010-01-19T07:17:57.000-06:002010-01-19T07:17:57.000-06:00WooHoo!
