When in Lincoln...do as the Lincolns do!

Friday night Geoff and I were heading downtown to grab some dinner and catch a movie.  When we drive downtown we get to drive right by Husker's Stadium and on this particular night we notice a bunch of people sporting red heading towards the stadium.  We both thought that is was just a press event for the football team, but out of curiosity I looked up on my phone what was going on.  And by golly!!! It was a BAND PREVIEW NIGHT!!! I quickly convinced Geoff to find the nearest parking spot and booked it into the stadium.  Nothing keeps me away from good ole band!!  (Luckily we were wearing red so we blended right in.) 

"The Pride of All of Nebraska"  Really???

It was crazy!  Literally hundreds of people were there just for the band preview night!  I was slightly let down to see that preview night was their pre-game show (if you aren't a Cornhusker fan, its not that exciting) and a demonstration of marching basic that ending with a drill down...to the DEATH!!! Just kidding!!

He could not believe that some people could not follow the "plays"

Overall it was a pretty exciting spontaneous adventure.  We did get some food later and fro-yo at Cherry On Top.  But this evening of Band got me thinking, this is the first year in eleven years I haven't been a band member.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself this fall!  And I'll admit, at times it wasn't my favorite thing to wake up on Saturday mornings during college to put on a nasty, stinky band uniform, stand on my feet for 6 hours and sweat about a billion gallons, but I look back on it now and smile.  I met my best friends there, learned how to be a leader and even scored Homecoming Queen at Pitt!  I loved my years in band and sorta miss it....almost.  So good luck to all of my band friends out there, what ever you are doing this fall, and remember the fun times we had together!  Snif, snif.  Look at me I'm getting all sentimental out here on the interwebs.  Until next time.  And I won't get all mushy gushy.
