This past Thursday was also the Freshman Orientation here at EVHS, and we were there to recruit new members to the team. It was a nice, sunny Thursday afternoon when the team got there, and the Link Crew at the school was busy hustling around with final preparations for the orientation. When I got there, I had been doing marching band camp, and I had a horrible farmer’s tan going on. After Eric arrived with the precious cargo, we set up some caution tape and moved some tables into position.

Finally, a few hours late, the freshman began to stream out of the auditorium. One by one, the Link Crew tour guides began to disappear and take the nubile young children away for tours of the campus. Before long, the incoming freshman began to notice the giant piece of metal and plastic making a ruckus in the middle of the quad. Unfortunately, as the line for buying PE clothes began to open up, all the freshman flocked over like a herd of deer and quickly left our area for the scent of the one-hundred percent cotton shirts and the aerated nylon shorts.

Luckily, we managed to attract the attention of a few stragglers. Amongst them was a boy with an infatuation with LEGOs. I mean, what a dork!…Oh…wait a second…

Anyhow, the demo was fine, but we could have rcruited more freshman…Hopefully we will be able to when school starts.

Note: District 9 was awesome!
