In fact the Packer fans are called "Cheeseheads"
and are known for their fierce loyalty to the team and the great
"tailgate" parties they throw while waiting for the games to start! We
also pride ourselves on good sportsmanship.
Lambeau Field is in Green Bay and seats over 60,000 fans but there is still an over 30 year
wait to get a season ticket for the Pack!
I myself don't think there's much
to see or do here, but Wisconsin does have a lot of tourism because of the many
great outside activities, and scenery. One of the best known attractions is
called Wisconsin Dells. The Dells are always fun!! They are a formation
of rock caverns that were carved by the glaciers, MANY MANY thousands of
years ago. Since then, they have become a
tourist attraction!!! They have now put in Water parks, shopping centers,
many hotels, boat tours, horse and cart rides, and duck rides (of course you ride
in a vehicle that goes on land AND in water--not actually on a duck!) which takes you
through many of the caverns and also get to cross over the river! They also
have a place called Deer Park where the land is protected and the hundreds
of deer and other animals roam free. Many are tamed enough that they will
walk right up to you looking for a snack! Wisconsin is VERY beautiful
and if you like outdoor activities and sightseeing this is the place to be!
I am also in school band. I have played the Tenor Saxaphone for about 4 years now. It was funny when I started because I am not a really tall person and the sax was nearly as big as I was!! I took it because my stepdad played when he was young and it's my moms favorite instrument. (I kind of got roped into it) Over the years we have realized how much our school band can accomplish if we all buckle down and concentrate! I also am in Jazz Band which meets once a week. In sixth grade the music got much harder because we were trying to do the same music as the 7th and 8th graders but we struggled through it. In seventh grade Jazz Band I was the only seventh grader chosen for a solo which was quite an honor! Well--actually it was a duet with me and an eight grader who played trumpet. We played l6 measures of "Forrest Gumps main theme" I really enjoyed it and have had many duets and treos since. The "Spring Concert" this year will be my last at Yorkville School and it will be so sad! One boy and girl will be chosen for "Band Student of the Year" and one person will be awarded "Jazz Band Student of the Year." I am hoping to win one of them. I extremely enjoy playing sax and hope to continue to play for a VERY long time!! ter>
