Bak from nyc 
Thurs:
Arrived in NYC at about 2. Boarded this boat tour of NY. It was really cold on the upper/outdoor deck so I went inside with Roger, Shimmy, and Brandon.
At about 5 the buses dropped us off near broadway and we were divided up into groups. I went with Binh, Charles, and Brandon. We didnt know what to eat so we ate at the McDonalds in Times Square. At the big intersection in the middle of Times square, they were filming some movie with a guy dressed in all silver. There was a huge crowd of people takin pix and stuff. Later, after meetin up wif other groups we found out lindsay lohan was there....all i saw was dat silver dude... Neways... we ate at mcdonalds, and some "hobo" came to us and asked us for change... only thing dat was weird was dat he didnt look lik a hobo. He asked us for change, i thought he was goin to giv us lik a buck and we would giv him change bak.....but apparently not. when we said we had no change he moved on to another table and some guy gave him change, and he didnt giv the guy back a dollar.
When we finished eating we went to the big toys r us store. they had a ferris wheel and 4 or so floors. The employees there wanted us to tak a pic wif the giraffe. We declined....and instead went directly downstairs to their video game section.
We went to the foot locker store next. Brandon got a yankee's cap.
We walked around time sqaure a bit, before our broadway show. we saw a field newsreporter doin a report.....we walked right next to him so we could get on tv  .
We also got invited to Fat Joe's after party 
Our broadway show started at 8 and our seats were in the second row on the left side of the stage. We watched "the fiddler on the roof." which was about a jewish guy who has 5 daughters and 3 of them find husbands that he doesnt approve of. it was actually funny! i thought it was goin to b boring .
 << our hotel
On the way to the hotel, our buses got stuck in traffic. we didnt chek into the hotel until bout 12:30. and unloading our stuff was really chaotic. People wif luggages, huge instruments, uniforms, backpacks, etc. bumpin into each other. The lobby was crowded cause the elevators werent really workin. so my roomates and i had to climb 4 floors to room 440
i roomed wif roger, shimmy, and brandon. shimmy volunteered to sleep on the floor, saying that the bed was too soft for his liking. brandon and roger shared a bed and i had a bed to myself We woke up at lik 5:50, thinkin that the wake up call at 7 wasnt enough time to get ready for breakfast. Apparently we were wrong. We all took showers and got ready by lik 6:30. Nobody was up yet.......so we watched arthur, and totally spies. Roger and i walked around the whole hotel lik 5 times.
Friday:
Breakfast was at 7:30 i think. they gave us a buffet in their ballroom. it was nice.
We then went touring in nyc. i was wif brandon, roger, shimmy, kristin, karen, michi, and sabrina. we had 2 chaperones for some reason, they were stupid. we weren't allowed to do what we wanted. We wanted to go to 5th avenue and go through the stores there, they were like ok, but when we went into a store they dragged us out after 5min. and told us we were goin to the empire state buidling....which was all the way across the city.....so we wasted our time walkin by the stores for bout an hour. We finally got into the building....where we had to wait some more in the freakishly long line. Got to the top looked down....and got some souvenirs. We had lil time after that to get bak to the buses, but we still went to times square. We bought burger king food along the way...since we didnt have time to go to Seredepity.
We arrived at times square again...and they told us we had 10 min. to either go into toys r us.....or footlocker.... so we divided up, da guys and me went to footlocker, the girls went to toys r us. When i came out of footlocker wif the other guys we saw this guy standing in the crosswalk wearing a cowboy hat, cowboy boots.....and...a white...speedo? kinda freaky....
We then walked lik 20 blocks bak to the buses...we were almost late...-__-;;
The buses took us to a different Marriot than the one we were staying at, we had to drop off the color guard and the jazz band.
We waited in the parking lot for bout 30 min. So, my friends and I decided to play "Animal Kingdom" wait....iunno its somethin similar to that game....we had names that had 2 similars ...iunno wats dat called.
After awhile we went bak to the hotel, got dressed for our performances...and got bak on the buses again. The buses than took us bak to that hotel we were at earlier. We warmed up and performed, than boarded the buses again to go to the local mall.
We werent allowed to change clothes so we walked into the mall in our tuxes/dresses. The locals were all lookin at us, it was kinda annoying....lik some guy went up to brandon and asked if he was jewish.... some other kids were sittin dere talkin crap bout us, we wanted to start a fight, cause we wouldnt b comin bak newayz lol.
We got bak on the buses and found out we had to go bak to the performance site and watch our best group perform.
After that, we went bak to our hotel. It was even more hectic than when we checked in. The main stairs were locked so half of us had to walk up this secodary set of stairs while the other waited forever for the elevators. We went to sleep as soon as we got bak into our rooms.
Saturday:
My roomates and i woke up too early again. The wake up call was at 5:30 and we woke up at bout 5. Took showers and packed all our stuff away. When we were done Roger and I were goin to walk around the hotel again. When we opened the door, there was a chaperone standing there. She asked us if she could use our fone to wake up the kids down the hall. She called lik 10 times earlier but they still werent awake.
Roger, brandon and I went downstairs to karen's, michi's, kristin's, and sabrina's room. Karen threw the door immediately when we knocked on it, and in the bg sabrina and kristin were lik yellin WAT IN THE WORLD R U DOIN CLOSE DAT DOOR.....brandon, roger and i looked at each other and slowly stepped away from the door.
Shimmy called us askin where we were, we said somethin lik we were on the buses takin roll call. he didnt believe us cause he could c da buses out of da window. so we said we were in some random room ...lik 103. he said ....ok and hung up. roger, brandon and i went to the elevator, pressed the button, and when the doors opened there was shimmy.
We went downstairs and found out that breakfast wasnt ready so we waited a bit.
we ate breakfast got our stuff and packed the buses.
The buses took us to this high skool in MIDDLESEX county...im serious that is the county. We watched our color guard perform and the award ceremony. It was kinda lik a pep rally, we started a huge wave that went down the whole gym and bak. Our skool won basically everything cept the choir stuff, cause our choir didnt come on the trip wif us.
we went bak on the buses and headed to the park.
 << 3d image of kingda ka ride
when we arrived we found out that KINGDA KA, the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the world wasnt open...-__-;; and so was some of the other good roller coasters there too. I rode most of the roller coasters that were open. It was fun!
we left the park at 8 and got bak at skool at around 12. It was painful trying to find a good position to sleep, plus the movie "young frankeinstein" was blasting from the speakers.
I wished the trip lasted a lil longer. Can't wait until next year, when we go to orlando
