I know you live in the area... but I commuted there (Northern VA) for a number of years from Baltimore, and then had a a gig for several years afterward driving numerous clients in and around the area. The clients I brought back from Dulles Airport would actually request the Frederick route because, even though it took just as much if not more time, at least it was scenic and we occasionally could do the speed limit. Summer Fridays were the worst. If we left Dulles on a Friday afternoon, I would tell clients it was a minimum of two hours back to Baltimore/Annapolis. Most of them knew the drill... but one client from out of town asked me if I knew any alternate routes to save time. I told him I probably knew a dozen alternate routes... but they all would take a minimum of two hours, enjoy the ride. LOL Oh I know. My meaning was, find a closer site lol the school they are at is a great one, but there are other great ones much closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately orientation for my new school happens to start on Monday so I won't be able to make it. And then the hammer falls! Actually, they didn't really lay into us until the following week. I'll never forget my first day of Gross Anatomy. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposedly the most intensive course at our school so that should be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ######## used an actual slide projector, so we couldn't download it and he FLEW through them. We all looked like deer caught in headlights. He finished and everyone was like, WTF just happened? It was definitely the hardest I've ever had. But the coolest, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Corps Guy Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 13 hours ago, George Dixon said: Huh? They go from there to Frederick (340/15N) in 70E down 29S, 100W, 97S It's still 90 miles I get avoiding DC traffic but that's a 215-230 hour each way They have done it before and are returning again this year. It usually takes an hour and a half to two hours to make the run. I do the drive several times a year as well. Let me assure you, we take care of the corps and the facility is top notch. If your in the area, stop on by Monday night and see for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping a couple of the kids from the HS band I work with show up. A few of them went to see Crown when they came through the area after the 4th. I was happy to host Crown earlier this month at Loudoun Valley across town. Even in the rain, we still had a couple hundred people in the stands for rehearsal that evening. Your students are always welcome and I hope they enjoy (and learn) while they are at Woodgrove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying it is far and traffic is bad, sometimes horrific, even in the case of the Frederick route bypass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
