At the beginning of our concert today I was ready to blog something about nothing being able to ruin a concert - as long as we're on the bus, with plenty of room. I was wrong. Rain. Of course, there are other things that can make a concert seem absolutely miserable, but that [rain] is the only one we experienced today, and it wasn't entirely miserable, because it only rained for a few minutes at the end.
On with the 'concert experience'! The obvious next step is the trip. The places we sing are anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours away. On the longer trips it was particularly uncomfortable in the van, on the bus, it's much better! The boys usually bring the nintendo and between that and normal kids entertaining each other stuff, they're pretty quiet. The fact that the bus is 40' long, with the nintendo in the back, and plenty of front seats also brings the noise level down!
I've had the opportunity to finally stand in front of the white line!! On public transportation coaches, it's against the rules to stand in front of the white line that separates the driver from the passengers. It's exhilarating to stand there going down a hill!
I can't think of anything else about the trip that's worth mentioning, other than it's been SUCH a blessing to have the coach, it's totally different than travel in a van.
