Wow – what a great trip.  Bus 1 you were awesome.  Thanks for everything.  You were all so much fun.  And thanks for doing such a fantastic job of keeping our newest coach exceptionally clean.  It was an honor for our company to be associated with your group – especially after the trophies that you won.  Congratulations to the concert band and the orchestra for taking first place in your divisions, you should all be proud to represent your school.  Many, many thanks to your directors and chaparones for making this all possible.

I must say that I did have some new experiences on this tour.  As you all know we as drivers like to have fun.  We tease each other, for example drinking two quarts of milk in 18 minutes is bound to have negative repercussions with one’s digestive track.  And we will have fun teasing a co-driver about that.  But going to Hamburger Mary’s is a new experience that perhaps tops the infamous dairy escapade.  And so as a driver my hat is off to fellow driver Barry for taking all of us drivers to places we have never been before – and in fact will likely not go to in the future!  We now have more material for great travel stories!!

Thanks to our great group of sophomores on board coach number 1  located near the sleeper berth.   We really appreciated you all being so quiet – and putting up with a major amount of verbal punishment from me!  Ha!  And to our seniors on board best of luck through the remainder of this school year and into your future.  I am sure you will all go onto great things.

Finally I must thank the directors again for their trust in us.  We are so thankful to be associated with you – keep up the great work.  Watertown Band and Orchestra Rocks!
