College Marching Band












Okay so I have been absent from blogging for a while, it has been a busy summer but as my boys have gone back to school, and I can feel the autumn in the air. I thought maybe it is time to get back to blogging....


There is nothing that says fall, and start of the new academic year like good old football games. But for me, what I enjoyed most was the marching bands. They play before, during, halftime, and after the game. There day on game day starts well before the football players makes it into the locker rooms, and does not end until way after the game. And most of the students on the marching band does it just for fun... no credits earned..... Wow...

This is the first year in 10 years that my boys are not involved in marching band, I am already going through a withdraw...... Ah... maybe, just maybe one will play in the marching band in the grad school next year.... I really miss the sound of the drum line...

Purdue University All American Marching Band will be participating in the Macy's
Thanksgiving day parade, and University of Southern California marching band participated in the Shanghai worlds fair this summer, and will travel to Hawaii for USC's first game of the season......
