Holding the space for some serious fun

This weekend is Iowa's homecoming! I have one friend driving and another flying to meet up and we're heading to the parade tonite! But the best part: we are marching in the alumni band. Whoooop whooop! Mollie and I are playing cymbals, and Hilary will be on melophone (a marching french horn for the laymen out there). So far I know several friends who are also going, who I haven't seen for years. We all marched from 1995-1997 (I think Hilary went to 1998 tho). So it's been 10 years since I've played the cymbals, done flips or anything like that. It should be a great blog entry.


Tomorrow is the football game vs Indiana where we get to march the pregame show and play during the game. Of course after pictures will be shared. But until then, enjoy the walk down memory lane just 11-12 years ago....

Hilary, Me and Mollie Fall 1997- There are several reasons Big Ten college band is different from high school band. Beer vs Mt. Dew, Cigarettes vs lollipops, House parties getting busted by cops vs watching movies and a 11:30 curfew:
