Homecoming 2008

We kicked off the weekend with the alumni groups social on Friday night. Good old friends, good live music, and an open bar. Saturday before the game, the alumni band separated from the Spirit Marching Band to play pep songs in exchange for beer in the tail gate lot. We were terrible. But I can still rock a bass drum!

I was lucky to have a fan club/support team. David (a highschool band friend!) is no longer a student, so we put a bass drum on him and snuck him into the game with the band. Once a band geek, always a band geek.

David holds mallets. HA!

It was weird to be in the band again. It was such a huge part of my life for so long. Most of my best friends- the ones who have stuck around throughout the years- those are ones I met in band. Man, we used to have so much fun. And despite the rain, the bruising, and the certain damage to my spine, I had an amazing time. I got to be a musician again! And I got to spend some good quality band time with all those people who were so close to me during my formative years. Jordan, did, after all, pour me my first shot ever.
