Blog Summary

So I haven't yet done my blog summary and I realize that it is now crunch time.. classes are ending..papers due.. and upcoming finals, so I figured It was time to start getting things done. I am not quite sure what exactly I should focus on when summarizing, but I thought the best thing to talk about would be Jamboree which is a hot topic in many blogs. There were many varying opinions about jamboree. The first two posts about jamboree are complete opposites. Dano talks about how the posters taught him some new things and were probably better than most other booths because a lot of the other booths lost track of what jamboree was about and tried to put on a big show. He wasn't a big fan of the impirialist group. However, little rabbit was very fond of this booth and sounds like he spent most of his time joining in and having fun. Many people spent most of their blog talking about just the roots of music part of jamboree. Mary Beth said it was slow at 9 (as to be expected) but she had fun teaching the swing dancing. Steph also talked about our booth and thought it went really well too! Lindsey said it went well and people enjoyed our booth as long as they didn't have to interact at all. Greenstar talked of how it went well, but no one really knew what they were singing for the lyrics game. And also she thought our junk band could have been more enthusiastic..I agree. Ashley talked of the ups and downs of the swing dancing. Brady talked about how it wasn't very much fun working at the booth because most of it was for the 3pm class, but he had fun swing dancing and he thought the live band he was in contributed a lot. Jweb had a lot to say about jamboree. He thought that even though our junk band wasn't very enthusiastic, he had a lot of fun making it and having people watch our junk band was better then going up to a booth where people ignore you. He also talked about how people kind of missed the point of jamboree.. Human diversity and sharing what we have learned about it. Kelsey talked about the fun she had preparing for jamboree. She was a little disappointed with the amount of people who showed up for swing dance but still had a good time. She thought that it was sad that no one really came up and asked questions while she was at the booth but then realized that when she was looking at booths she never really asked questions either. She doesn't think think that jamboree should be human diversity. Overall I think that people had fun at jamboree they just thought it could be changed for the better in some ways. I thought that jamboree was fun, but the whole point of it(to learn about human diversity) was lost in trying to impress people with food and fun games.
