Boat Dance

These kids have a Boat dance the first week of school. In short, the school busses 450 kids down to the lake where they get on two separate boats - middle schoolers and ninth grade in one, and then the rest in another. From there the boats go out, food is served and people wander, watch and enjoy being on the water. At some point the two boats meet up again, and a gangplank is placed inbetween them so that they are connected. One boat is the dance/dj boat and the other the food. We spend the evening in this manor, dancing on the water so to speak. Kind of a fun idea though the food was a little on the shabby side. As chaperones we had certain time slots and assignments. I got bathroom duty for half an hour. Basically just patrolling to insure that nothing illegal was happening in the bathrooms. The rest of the time us faculty enjoyed ourselves by dancing and talking. At around 9:30pm the boats separated and we sped off to get the younger kids back and to bed at a reasonable hour.
