Duel in the Desert

Man, that game was a nail-biter toward the end. Also, we haven't had any real "weather" in months and it rained and hailed during the game. What is up with that? It was fun, though, if a bit stressful. At least we won this time! I was so glad, because I really didn't want to cry in front of people. And yes, I cried after the Oregon game, but at least I was at home.

Here's a shot of both bands performing together at halftime, which I really enjoyed. Good songs! And even if you hate your rival, support your band! The tradition of performing together at halftime is pretty classy.



(That gap in the far endzone was where ASU's band was sitting; it wasn't empty... just in case you were wondering)

I am also happy to announce that this was the first time visiting Sun Devil Stadium where I didn't get severely taunted (as in screaming in my face) or have those creepy "sparky fingers" flashed at me. I think that it might be because I wasn't dressed in sequins with a big "A" on my chest this time.

Also, I realized that I am really old because this guy, who is my age and started band the same year as me, is directing the band while the regular director is on sabbatical. (I mean, I realized this at the beginning of the semester, but hadn't mentioned it on the blog yet :P)

So. Old.

Oh well, Go Cats! Can I also mention how glad I am that I didn't have to drive back to Tucson tonight? (sorry to my friends that are currently still on the road)

Bear Down!!
