Charles' Entertainment Review

Good! Lot of walking, lot of walking. I did the big caterpillar, big caterpillar. I had my first time being it. Put the sticks up. Hard, hard for me. Hard for me to pick it up.

It hurt a little bit. The volunteer told us to turn the light on. I got little a nervous. A lot of people. A lot of friends around me. Everybody talk to me. I got lost, I couldn’t find the bus. Couldn’t find the tour bus. Went back to Rose Center, eat pizza. I got pop, 2 liter of pop. Pop at Rose Center. I got home late. Got home around 10. Long ride back to Rose Center.

PARADE

VOL. 68

By Charles

It was fun! Lots of people. A hundred people. Nice people.

Nice costumes, nice makeup. Block the streets off. Cops and traffic. Blocked it off because cars were in the way. Then we started. I like the kids. I like the costumes. I was on that first bike, that first bike back there. All that wind, gusty wind. I wore the wrong helmet. I should’ve brought mine down there.

Decorated the helmet too. All that wind, woo! Kristen came too. All that wind under the bridge. We waved at people. I like the floats. They were beautiful. The Ghostbusters, kids dancing, circus, the wheel, kids running around it. I like the performance. Kids were singing around it. My staff came. Our staff took us. Me and Courtney went. That wind, woo! Strong wind. Blew my hat off. It was cold, colder than when we started. Clear the traffic because the cars were in the way. Interview about the floats. Then we left after that.

We went to Rose Center and had pizza. I like the music. I like the dancing. I like the makeup. We were butterflies. I was a butterfly. I wore my teen jacket.

My staff gave it to me. It’s like a coat. It’s like a jacket. I had gloves on my hands. It was fun! I want to do it again. My favorite part was the people, waving at them.

By Bernard H. Girls out there. Some girls love me out there. I played drums for them. I practice. Practice drums, and then I make a beat with it. Made a song with it. I felt good out there! Gave a girl a hug. Came back, everyone celebrate out there.

Take picture out there. Nonstop. Take pictures of them. Anyone need me, just call me. Need me to practice the drums.

ARTS IN THE DARK

By Anthony B.

It was a lot of fun. We missed Hannah. It was just a lot of fun. We danced, we sang, they did Michael Jackson “Beat It.” It was just a lot of fun. We had a ball. We had a ball.

We got to Grand Avenue around 4:00, and then we had to set up the float. The parade up. We had to set the bike up with the caterpillar. Anteneh and Kristen had to set it up. It was so windy out there, it was so cold. It was freezing out there! It was so windy that day. At the end, it started to rain on us.

We had pizza. We got the butterfly makeup off. Matthew helped me take it off. We forgot the baby wipes in the van.
