I am a proud band nerd!

Most of you know that from 5th grade through my junior year at college, I played the trumpet. In college I was part of the University of Idaho Marching Band. I had a great group of guys that I marched with and somehow we sweet talked Torrey into allowing us to stay a squad every year! Usually, once you get experience you become a squad leader of three other marchers and make sure your squad perfects the routine. Well, I don't know how we persuaded Torrey, but we got to stay together all three years and had the BEST time over the years. Thanks Torrey for unforgettable memories. Obviously, we were experienced marchers, so we had a lot of fun as well. One of my friends from college, who was in this band with me and also Campus Crusade for Christ posted their latest performance video. Some of you may have seen her photography work, Emily Weaver Brown. I think you will see why I enjoyed it so much, despite many thinking it "uncool". I always was impressed that I was able to memorize all that music AND that entire routine and do them both at the same time.

By the way, the Vandals won this game:)


YOU MUST WATCH TO AT LEAST TO MINUTE 5:42! Enjoy.

Hey Band Nerd......not too bad for the U of I! (I must confess that I got distracted watching football player hiking the ball [@ 7:00 minute mark], but the rest was pretty cool. Love you!

Wow!! I am impressed! 9 minutes is a long stretch for music and choreography! My fav part was after the dancing, the person who "walked" to the front to get their instrument. Thier "walk" was GREAT!! :) What instrument did you play in the marching band?
