All the cheering you can hear on the video (and so sorry you can't watch it) is from Sierra Vista and Coronado High Schools' respective bands. And yes, a lot of the band members know kids on other bands, so they do root for them, but there are some bitter rivalries, too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Phleggmy! I'll pass on your kudos to Silver, toute de suite!Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-55566330892216785192008-11-09T19:26:00.000-05:002008-11-09T19:26:00.000-05:00That's fantastic!

The music was great, and they produce an impressive amount of sound for a band that size. I'm proud of her and of them, and I'm proud for you, Christina! What a big way to finish a band career. Alas, my band peaked my sophomore year, and it was a little disappointing to feel like we always fell short after that. Good to finish on a big , big high.

I remember cool fall nights and going to band competition, sitting in the stands and watching our fellow bands compete. I don't know if you guys are close out there, but we were close enough to the other bands in the circuit that we knew kids from all over and would root for each other!Blondefabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383256453110862550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-85372769110534594002008-11-09T16:53:00.000-05:002008-11-09T16:53:00.000-05:00Thanks, Buck!Yeah, the camera has to be far enough...Thanks, Buck!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, the camera has to be far enough away to pick up all (or most) of the action on the field, so it's hard to pick out individuals!<BR/><BR/>Wow, what a memory for TFMP, that's fantastic!<BR/>And, no, YOU'RE not OLD...just well preserved...;)Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-25156772129446248412008-11-09T16:45:00.000-05:002008-11-09T16:45:00.000-05:00Good on Silver, regardless of the final outcome! ...Good on Silver, regardless of the final outcome! I couldn't pick her out in the vid, tho. (BIG grin!)<BR/><BR/>Apropos of nothing... I used to be married to a clarinet player (The First Mrs. Pennington), whose chief claim to fame is she marched in JFK's inaugural parade as a member of the Lompoc (California) High School marching band. Yeah, she's OLD. <BR/><BR/>(not me, though... TFMP was a certified cradle-robber.) <B>;-)</B>Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
