Prodigal Son

Fourteen performers joined today’s orchestral act for the latest edition of The Dogpile. Temperatures were (actually) 70 and sunny. According to the rogue film crew preparing for the actual orchestra, the following may be somewhat close to what happened:

Quick Start: a Gentlemen’s 5 burpees

Mosey to the Amphitheater’s side entrance and to the orchestra area for the COP:

SSHs
Dead Man Hang
IWs
Flutter kicks x 17
Box cutters x14 (yeah, 17-14 Hokies)
HRMs x10

Quick mosey to bottom step (for those not already on the bottom step) for an escalating ascension up the Amphitheater: dips, 1-18

At the top, quick stretch.

Round and Round: Pick a trash can. There are 20. Do 5 WWIIs at any orange trash can. 5 burpees at any other color trash can (YHC asked for suggestions, then pick his own exercise). Then, run around the loop. Go to the next trash can. Repeato. Continue through all 20 trash cans.

(Some PAX griped about 20 rounds. Each round is about 50 yards, or half of the Great Lawn. A beast is 6 x 4 = 24 fifty yard stretches. This is shorter. YHC apologizes for cheating the PAX out of 200 yards of running.).

Stretch, including some for the cameras. Deals for NIL were signed by some PAX.

Mosey to the side of the Amphitheater for a Dora. Each man does 50 HRMs, and then combines to do 200 American Hammers and 300 SSHs. Bear crawl up the hill to the stone wall. Avoid the van doing…well, nothing, eventually.

Mosey to the stage for a Triple Check, Touch-a-Tree Style. Touch 1 tree for the first person, 2 for the second person, 3 for the third, 4 for round 2, man 1, etc…up to 9 trees. Dieing cockroaches and hello dolly (YHC thinks).

Mosey to the bottom of the Amphitheater again…18 V-ups, then 17, then mosey BTTVSF for the COT.

Numbers, names, YHC took us out with a message about finding a prodigal son and bringing him/her back into your life.

Announcements and Requests:

Welcome, Hokie. Come back, hopefully under better conditions. That’s 2 times YHC has spoken favorably of the Hokies today. Some kind of record.

BRR, Field Day, and Retreat.

Let’s keep the Hokie, his family, and all of the people of New Orleans in mind. Let’s also keep Bacon Bits and his family in mind. Same goes for the wild fire victims, the flood victims in NY/|NJ, and the people inside Afghanistan as well as those creating new lives and helping the refugees. Lots of need out there.

Welcome back, Hardywood. Good to have you in the Orchestra today.

UpChuck spits the bit.
