For three years now, Campus Kids has carried on a great
tradition on the last night of camp. Three years ago, in a stroke of genius
CampStock was born. All the musicians of CK would get together and perform
in the greatest music festival of time. August 14, 2008, Campstock III: |
 |
 |
The show opened up with a Jimmy Hendrix style National
Anthem by Ethan. |
The Dave2 experience along with Donald, Emily,
and Liz opened up Camp Stock with a bang! |
 |
 |
As they sung on, the sky began to darken. The clouds moved
in, but Campus Kids said the show must go on! |
Unfortunately the
weather would not wait for Campstock. The sky opened up and quickly soaked everyone. |
 |
 |
It was raining quite hard and the stage was quickly covered.
Hiding under a metal tent next to a tree, the situation looked grim... |
but like the Hilary Duff song, "Let the Rain Fall Down,"
Campus Kids did just that. The festival was quickly moved indoors and
started up after dinner. |
 |
 |
In the new venue, with the rain falling down, Foot Melon got
the festival back on track. |
