Late this afternoon, Rick was pounding on his drums…this time for a good cause! They played at the charity sale that will benefit the March of Dimes annual March for Babies Fundraiser. You can read about the charity sale here. The band had a good time playing for the crowd and we had a good time listening!!

Rick is posing very nicely for the picture!

The drummers biggest fans!!!

Sprint had an appreciation party for the bands that played on campus during the summer. Being that the Recliners played a few times, they were invited (along with their families – so me and Noah got to go along too!!) They had some food out for us – sandwiches, meatballs, coconut shrimp, chips & dip, dessert and pop!!!

They had a Wii set up that anyone could play and they also had “Rock Band” set up. While I was eating and talking to some other people, I suddenly heard Rick singing – yep, he was playing “Rock Band” with the other band members. One guy was on drums, another on guitar and Rick was singing. Well, of course it was all mic’d up so everyone stopped talking and watched them play for a little while. Except the song was cut short because the guy on drums was following the guitar notes, so after missing so many drum beats, the song fails.

A short time later, it was time for the lip-sync contest. And yes, Rick and two of the guys HAD to participate!!! They had costumes they could wear and inflatable guitars to play. Their group was VERY entertaining and ended up winning first place!! They each got an iPod Shuffle, so Rick was pretty happy. After the contest, we went to the Sprint Auditorium to watch a 15-20 minute video of the bands that played throughout the summer.
