Sure, I, Keisuke Hoashi, will be the first Volunteer Performer for the Camp Reunion Camper Recital/Counselor Show! I will perform the legendary song “I’m so Rone Ree” from “Team America: World Police.” However, since I can’t play piano, I expect everyone in the audience to provide appropriate accompaniment. Woohoo!
