Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!!!! Answer the questions and match the answers to the letters given at the top of the puzzle to find the actual coordinates.

CONGRATS BoP ON FTF!!!!!

UPDATE on cache: As there has been work in the area, the size of the cache container was required to change or the cache would have to be moved. Container is now a medium size pill bottle...with room for small swag.

My daughter graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington on May 16, 2009. She wanted me to hide a cache in honor of her graduation. She is graduating with a BA in Music with her major in Music Education and is hoping to start teaching in a middle school or high school band program starting this fall.

So, the questions for this cache all have to do with music. All of the answers are fairly easy to find in a search engine. Have fun!!

The cache has quite a bit of swag in it to get it started. My daughter wanted a pirate themed party for her graduation party, so I put some of the party favors in the cache to go along with the items Joelle already had in it.
