Today, we took our fifth grade students to the park to celebrate the end of standardized testing. It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time. One of our parent volunteers happens to work as a camera man at Fox 6, and he got Mickey Ferguson to come and do his weather forecast from the park. Mickey and I decided to surprise him by taking his camera and turning it on him! He deserved to be honored for his dedication and generosity. He's been giving his time for math tutoring all year! If we had more parents like this, we could drastically change the state of education in our nation. Thank you, Mr. Greg Long!

On Saturday, May 11th, I was honored to play a show at the outstanding Maywood Christian Camp with my good friend Paul Mays (a.k.a. aMaysing Paul). He drove all the way from the great state of Virginia to make this event a huge success, and I'm ever grateful to him for it.

We were able to get a few video shots which I will post here as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, the still shot on the left is actually a clip from one of the video cameras we had duct-taped to the rafters. During this part of the show, I believe we were giving away free CDs to everyone who had offered nouns for the song "The Low Down Noun Eater." I think we gave away about 30 CDs that day. What a blast!

Maywood Christian Camp is a great place, and this was the 10th anniversary of "Madness in May." The Bonus Point Band played for the first "Madness in May" event back in 2003, so this was somewhat of an encore performance. The theme of the day was "Transformers," and they had some cool t-shirts for everyone to wear. Paul and I used our looping machines to begin the show with our rendition of the Transformers cartoon theme song. At the end of the day, we played it one more time by request. Our set list is included below.

Set List for Madness in May (May 11, 2013)

• Andy the Actor

If you're looking for a camp for the summer, and you're in the vicinity of North Alabama, I highly recommend Maywood Christian Camp. I was a counselor there back in 1998, and I have some great memories from those days.

Also, if you were at the show, leave us a note below and let us know your thoughts. We'd love to get some feedback about our performance. Do you want The Bonus Point Band to come and play for your school or camp? Just let me know by clicking the "Contact Us" link above.
