How did bootsie camp come to be?
If you didn’t know I am a veteran. Boot camp was a major turning point in my life. I was small an scrawny my whole life until then, now I’m just skinny lol. While I was there I definitely had to prove myself to everyone. Not only that I wasn’t gay (which everyone thought I was due to my voice and flamboyance), but that I was strong enough to make it. And it wasn’t until after crucible two days before graduation that they stopped calling me “Sweetness; Stupid lil gay b****; Faggot; & Sweetthing… and started calling me CHRISTIAN.
For the longest I just wanted to start my own dance battle platform and couldn’t come up with a good name until I sat down and in efforts to make it personal really sit and reminisce about who I was and where I came from. I finally had the idea to mix my dance name with boot camp seeing how it’s practically the same spelling. And I named my dance battle event crucible because after training in boot camp for 3 months you still don’t join the fleet and become acknowledged as a fleet Marine until you pass The Crusible. I took that same concept and applied it here. Now it’s my own personal 2nd favorite event.
Whats my favorite event you ask? Well my favorite event will be the reason Bootsiecamp will go down in history. I’m bringing back talent shows with an open mic feel to it. It’s my goal to get this event so big and popular to the point Bootsiecamp is not just gonna be a network for artist but a recruitment site for opportunity. It’s our goal to have ppl come for the talent show and leave with deals and contracts and whatever else kinda opportunities we gonna run into. But there’s only so much we can do alone. That why we need you and all the rest of our supporters, to really share this out and let ppl know so we can build our own community. I’m tired of sitting around waiting for opportunity to present itself. Let’s go out there and get it. Help us help you and artist all over. Let’s be great and party like the superstars we all are on the inside.
