Today’s Music Monday focus is on a new band called The City Harmonic. This video is a great introduction to the band – a song that explains what the band is all about. It makes you want to join in and sing along doesn’t it?
Their six-song EP Introducing The City Harmonic came out in November and already the band is turning quite a few heads online. The above video already has more than 20,000 views.
Sing it with me now, “Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our heart….”
Salute Your Shorts was a ’90s Nickelodeon show set at the fictional Camp Anawanna. I can’t remember if I watched the show when it was originally aired or when it was in re-runs but either way it was on Nickelodeon while I was a camper at Delanco Camp and always did an excellent job of keeping me in the camp spirit throughout the school year.
The show, which lasted only two seasons, was based on the 1986 book of the same name. It focused on a group of teenage campers, their annoying counselor and the various issues that arise during their time at Anawanna. Among the show’s characters was one of the more unforgettable nicknames in the history of television – Donkeylips.
The show’s name comes from a popular prank where boy campers steal a pair of boxer shorts from another camper and run them up the flag pole, replacing the American flag for the morning flag salute. I’ve not heard tell of this particular prank happening at camp, but there was something other than a flag flying on our flag pole at one point during Teen 2 this summer.
Have you seen the show? What do you remember most about it?
