Well, the first practice of the Plum Pretties Umbrella Drill Team
has taken place, and oh what a time it was!
Upon our arrival, we exchanged hugs and greetings. We were then met by our most gracious Queen, who offered for our enjoyment a wonderful spread of fruit salad, and cheese and crackers, along with some chips to munch. There was pop and water to quench our thirst, and what a thirst we worked up!
After our refreshments, we took to the lawn with instructions in one hand, and our umbrellas in the other.
While at first it was rather like herding cats, we soon settled down and got to work. I AM SO PROUD OF OUR DRILL TEAM!!! By the end of the evening, we were quite respectable, and it actually looked like we knew what we were doing. Thank you so much to our very own Military expert, the Queen's Captain! Thank you, sir, for "dressing our troops"! And thank you too, Queen, for your wonderful hospitality.
Your castle is a thing of beauty, and you always are so warm and welcoming.
All in all, it was a very successful venture, and I'm sure we will be very entertaining in Traverse City in September.
So, until the next Drill Team practice, I leave you with the following:
"I don't know but it's been said,
we look good in hats of red.
When we march in the parade,
History will then be made!"
Keep on marching!
