Band Camp 2k21

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and today we're going to talk about my band camp experience uh this is all right we're going to talk about it all i'm going to say debating right now like i still want to do part one part two but i'm going to do one part because it doesn't make much sense to do two parts so home camp was pretty boring we just did playing and marching fundamentals that went from two weeks ago monday so the it's like the of night that to friday monday through

friday eight to noon was fun but not really at the same time um but in a weight camp that's where things get real so first things first i had planned a mario kart tournament to have at band camp long story short didn't happen but i made a whole poster board for sign up and everything and i got some decent signups actually second thing i was in the senior cabin unintentionally they just kind of couldn't kick me out because all the other cabins were full and that's where i

just got placed and number three i was bringing a gaming setup i have no photos of it unfortunately but it was pretty sweet so sunday rolls around we head out and we pack reading and go and i get to the senior cabin make my gaming set up put my fridge in i brought a mini fridge to keep my gatorade cold and then the whole afternoon we just did marching practices and stuff monday same thing happened monday's when i tried to host the mario kart tournament

the mario kart tournament was didn't work because everyone wanted to go to the pool and like that was the only day i could do it so but yeah i was learning monday was pretty good tuesday i went swimming and overall had a great time like my free time and doing music that was also pizza night so that was pretty sweet wednesday night is when my dad came out and that was pretty sweet he brought me through his luco's tacos and fry pies so that was awesome thursday

it really nothing happened thursday it was kind of a mediocre day and then friday it rained and we went home let's see what some details okay so on tuesday tuesday evening oh no no i'm not gonna go to tuesday evening that i mean we i basically was gonna say we watched a movie tuesday evening but thursday night is the scavenger hunt and that was awesome we had to get some crazy items we did some crazy stuff like getting a ladder from the

maintenance shed and getting an amish person's phone number which is really weird to explain but the most difficult was securing a wheelchair let me tell you i had to scare two senior girls to get a wheelchair from the 8th graders but it worked i held i took these two girls at um at gunpoint with a water gun and i uh hollow took him at gunpoint with a water gun and i basically told him to get underground they got scared because it was dark it was worth it but yeah that's for that um

that was really it but um we also had uh we i actually got second place it was pretty fun but yeah in the end band camp it's pretty amazing i kind of wish you took some videos about out there but i just didn't and i'll ask some friends maybe i'll do a follow-up video of more pictures and stuff but right now i've been putting this off too long and yeah but expect tomorrow to see some set reviews because i got a couple of lego sets as seen in my last video anyways folks thanks for

watching as far as i made this if you made it this far comment trumpet below anyways thanks for watching peace out

Home Days 2021

hello wonderful to youtube it's alex and today or actually over the weekend it was home days and it was so much fun so we're gonna start with friday so friday i got up and worked i went from seven o'clock to three o'clock fun after that i went home and got ready for the actual homies event uh which started at five and i actually had to uh perform at six o'clock yeah six o'clock for vocal basically i was remaining a pop booth from five to seven but i left for about almost an hour

unfortunately because of some delays so 5 30 head over warm up with vocal for a minute we should start at six but there were some delays they wanted more people so it took about 20 minutes for us to actually start we sing all good go back in my pocket after that hung out with some friends pretty much the entire evening i wrote this really fun ferris wheel ride where basically you could rotate the cage it was like a handbrake and everything so you could like set

it like you would rock and you could pull a break so he would stop rocking yeah it was really fun saturday got up again and did the morning shift it was fun just kidding it sucked uh but it was overall enjoyable after that i stayed home for two hours took a light nap then i went to home days again where i hung out with some friends for a while and then it rained but right before i started raining jaycee show jaycee showed up i think you guys have met jaycee before well i don't think i've

actually shown her in the video but she's pretty neat anyways after that me and jay seeing a couple of my friends i'm not gonna say their names they don't have their permission i don't feel like turning them down to ask we hung out for the entire evening i wrote the ferris wheel thing again it was awesome but uh what else did i do oh yeah fried oreos delicious but the rain sucked i'm talking that it rained for two hours but after the rain me jaycee my friends we went over

the karaoke area because there was no one over there we did some karaoke it was awesome and i sang johnny be good i really wish i got a video of it but i don't think anyone i know has a video of it which sucks uh so there's that but i mean i think johnny be good tonight go go go johnny go it's awesome oh there's also a train there we did that after the karaoke there's a little trackless train it's called the magic train awesome like that driver was so cool and like all the

teenagers loved him and not the kids not the teenagers loved riding that thing it was cool it was epic and honestly he was like one of the few things like a lot of the vendors and stuff close shop after the rain because no one was there he stayed he could have left and gotten away with it but no he stayed all night it was awesome i left early before the fireworks i left at like 9 30 because me jaycee my friends were bored so we all went home and then kind of hung out at my house jaycee was

there no no none of my other friends when i come over um unfortunately slash they couldn't it was fun we hung out and then yeah that was that home this was great though i mean other than the other s chaos i'll just put it behind the scenes yeah it was not ran good um i mean there's some cool cool stuff you know the local boobs the cabbage noodles but they invited food trucks which screwed over all the local stuff like the methodist church and the marching band and the

soccer team and the swim team not good anyways um i'll wrap it up there overall it was great and i will if you guys like this video a little blog do like comment subscribe tell me what you want to see later anyways i'll see you guys around i made this far comment ferris wheel below anyways peace out

Eagle Scout ceremony 2 (with 200 other scouts)

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and yesterday i went to this thing for uh boy scouts it was an eagle scout recognition thing for all the eagle scouts who got eagle scout in 2020 and it was awful really awful so to start off it was raining not a problem the venue they picked was actually really nice but that's not the problem the problem was is how the rain there's an outdoor venue but it had like a roof and everything but it's like the rain on the roof just combined with the really

quiet speakers and the really quiet speaker like actually doing all the talking the guy you couldn't hear anything other than the rain on the metal and then after that um there's a really long little speech about being trustworthy and doing what you're supposed to do from this guy who ran a company he was pretty neat and then i said to go upstage and you know get recognized along

with all the other little scouts there's like 200 of us and then after that was ice cream but here's okay so here's the problem so first things first um once the rain stopped the sound was okay until the feedback began and yes there was microphone feedback it was awful uh i mean there's 200 of us scouts and i mean most of them gosh the thing is there's so many typos in the bro and like the pat the program like a lot and bonus points the only thing we got after was ice cream

when the little invitation very explicitly stated there was lunch that wasn't fun no lunch bad sound no lunch the ice cream was actually okay it was east coast custard and kind of ice um but because of the rain we couldn't do our photo shoots properly so like there was a huge line of skies who didn't get to do the photos before the rain on the stage um what else it was really long and not fun i mean could have been better yeah it could have been better it still sucked but i

mean it's not as bad as other things i've seen i'll just leave it at that i mean afterward i went home and i had jimmy john's but i mean i mean the only thing i really got out of it i guess was the neckerchief really neat neckerchief it's red and white said like the blue of the eagle normal eagle one uh i mean i saw some people from NYLT there i saw i think his name was jake and i saw john and it was pretty neat but overall uh it kind of just sucked anyways if you guys enjoyed

Yellowstone Video!

hello wonderful youtube it's alex and today it's finally the time i'm doing my yellowstone video you guys probably saw about a week or two ago i posted a video of old faithful at yellowstone that's because i was actually there now normally i talk about my trips not a lot of photos or anything because well to be completely honest with you i don't normally take a lot of photos but this was a vacation all the way out to montana and wyoming so i took a lot of photos i mean it's

like five minutes worth of videos actually but i mean overall it's really neat i mean i do a lot of talking over there but how do we get started with our photos all right so we first started our trip at the airport and you know flying on the planes out of cleveland you know nothing too fancy just trying to actually get over to our little destination and i don't have any photos between here in wyoming sorry montana and we start here at our first hotel in gardner montana nice little place

and then that evening after we flew in we went to the entrance sign we took a group photo of my grandparents and we took a nice sunset photo as well it was actually really pretty the next morning we were driving around the park and we saw lots of buffalo actually like we saw like two or three herds of them really really neat i mean how often do you see buffalo in ohio and we saw this giant petrified tree uh it was really neat unfortunately it was being chipped off and here's a

picture of me my mom and brother it's kind of cool and then over here is the mammoth springs in the little town of mammoth inside of yellowstone and i mean they have lots of minerals in the water so it's like a giant salt geyser basically over here is the waterfall i don't remember the name of this one but it was really really pretty and it was led into like the grand canyon of yellowstone pretty cool over here is the actual like canon itself it's really hard to like recreate

with paintings because the colors are constantly changing and everything but it's really if you ask me and over here are some more geysers and hot springs i don't remember exactly where this was but i just remember there's a lot of neat stuff now the blue in the water it means it's really really close to boiling it's like just shy the boiling point which is like 190 something degrees at that altitude so i think that's pretty cool and then of course over here we got you know some

more hot springs and geysers throughout yellowstone it's pretty cool i mean they look fun to swim in until you realize they're boiling water and the colors of the oranges are actually the algae or know that the outdoors bacteria that live in the water data feed off of the heat and over here are some mud pots which is basically mud that's boiling kind of cool i guess and over here is another uh geyser i believe it was oh and here's another mud pot it's kind of like not bubbling

down this one here's another one of the pools i mean it was pretty nifty it was very blue and very warm and over here is again some more pools and springs it's pretty neat and then here we have again another one of the pools it's pretty nifty and unique but now we move over to old faithful you guys probably saw the old faithful video that i uploaded i mean it was really really neat seeing that thing erupted like in person it was actually pretty cool if you guys haven't seen it

i'll put the link to it in the description but yeah over here is the runoff from the old faithful that runs into the river that's and then oh yeah here's the surprise polls right by the old faithful again here's some more of the area i think this is right by old faithful or near it but oh and then here's one of the other geysers uh it was pretty neat pretty violent and then here's the paradise pool yeah and then we also visited the continental divide which we didn't know what that is look it up

but it's real neat and over here again is that same geyser from before uh just a different spot and here's actually lake yellowstone it's a big lake inside the national park it's pretty neat if you ask me i mean it also has some hot springs and geysers near it so i wonder actually how much warmer it is but then we moved on to cody when we stopped along the way we saw this giant dam here's the valley that the dam was like in it's pretty neat but in that day and the day out like the time in cody it was like really really hazy and you can kind of see it in this photo here we

also went to a rodeo while we were out there i mean it was pretty cool seeing a rodeo and everything i also here's some more buffalo right by cody but then after that we drove to the uh cowboy coaster in jackson hole because we were going to the grand tetons national park and here's me my brother my mom on it and then also here's a photo of me actually on the ride itself it's a neat little photo of the mountain in the background and then town square in jackson they

actually had this huge thing like antler like arch pretty cool and here the actual mountains themselves while it was raining the entire time we were at the grand tetons which is actually about 30 minutes south by the way if you're another where here's us umbrellas going out and just at the top of the one mountain we could climb and just not seeing anything because it was all cloudy and just interesting but our last full day we saw fox i mean that's pretty neat i mean it

was just cool now i mean here's some more of the mountains and here's a video of us uh at the mountains it was pretty neat and here of us back at the jackson airport we could we flew into a different city we didn't fly in the jackson i should probably point that out and then over here is actually the plane we flew back on was american airlines bit of a scam but whatever i mean they actually had some nice in flood entertainment and then over here i mean i took a photo of the

safety card showing i was heading back to cleveland it's pretty nifty and on the way back we stopped in chicago again it was really neat it was so pretty i mean i tried to take a good picture of the night but you know i had a phone camera and over here we have a little bit of a video of me just telling everyone i'm heading back to cleveland the plane and overall yeah it's really neat so let's get back to the main part of the video all right some quick things to mention i kind of

forgot to do in the uh photos because we didn't have any photos of them while we were in cody other than the rodeo we stopped at the buffalo bill museum uh complex they had five museums in one they had buffalo bill natural history native american history firearm museum and an art museum it was really neat i mean the fire i'm using i actually needed more time i just didn't have enough they had like 4 000 or something firearms on display and 7000 in their collection a

whole variety of them like one of them was a little locket for a necklace that shot one round i think it was like a spy gun or something like that but it was pretty neat and the coolest one there was a gatling gun from the civil war if you know what that is look it up i'm not sure if i could post pictures of it on youtube but i mean it was a pretty neat little weapon also i think another thing i forgot to mention while i was doing the video uh the photos was i stopped in chicago along the

way to uh bozeman montana so we flew in bozeman montana we flew in jackson hole we flew out but yeah i think that's everything so if you enjoyed the video do like comment subscribe and i'll see you all y'all later peace out oh wait before i peace out if you made it this far comment yellowstone below anyways peace out
