Tuba Time

So finally got the pictures from the first home football game and thought you guys would love to see them so....Enjoy!

So first thing first...face paint. The goal is to get the whole tuba section painted in like an hour. This was great fun giving that I had no clue what was getting painted on my face.

Here's the finished product. This is all the women in the tuba section and were ready to kick some serious bootay. Just wait till next game day and see what we do!

This was during tailgating. The whole Vandal marching band goes out and plays for all the tailgaters and during one of the songs that we play the tuba players have a "match" and fight each other. I just thought that this was an awesome picture.

Here's the band getting ready for our first pre game show of the season. I feel we did really good for our first show ever.

Then the whole band forms a tunnel and welcomes our boys onto the field. Overall our first game was tons of fun, the Vandal football team totally kick butt and the band did an excellent thriller dance during halftime. I can't wait till homecomming, I have a feeling it's going to be crazy.

The Good: The tubas making a successfully making a pyramid without getting run over by the football team

The Bad: Paint in the eyes

The Ugly: A kid puking in the stands and still continued to cheer for the Vandals...Go Vandals!

Vandal Game Day!

Last weekend the Idaho Vandal Football team kicked butt against the Rams. This is a major cause to celebrate and have fun. This is how it went down.

First thing of the day the Vandal Pep band played at the first home volleyball game which was a blast. Of course our team won for you people who don't believe in the awesomeness of the Vandals. This was the first pep band game of the season and the turnout was awesome. Hopefully I'll get excepted into the Pep band for the basketball team!

 

Here are some of my fellow tuba players, Henry (in front) and Kyle. Lets just say they are you're typical tuba players, they keep each day of marching band interesting, and in a good way too.This is what happens during pep band games, we get just a little crazy at times.

Then right after the volleyball game it was strait to the football game. Before the game the tubas have a tradition of going out to the tailgaters and running around and playing the Beer song for everyone. This is great fun and if you ever decide to go tailgating at one of the Vandal games give me a holler and I'll run over there and play the Beer song for you. If you want to hear what the beer song sounds like just follow the link.

The stands were totally packed. At least the student seats were totally packed. It was amazing to be out on the field marching in front of everybody, it just gives you a rush. That night was probably the night where I had the most fun with marching band. When I was standing out on the field I just felt so proud of myself because I made one of my dream come true and the one of the cool things is I'm living my dream.

After the game I went to the bagel shop down town with an awesome guy that I met and then went and watched a movie that I've never seen before. It was a good way to end a great day and even though I was dead beat tired I would do it again in a heart beat.

The Good: The amazing school spirit

The Bad: Carrying a 50 pound tuba on your shoulder for 8 hours

The Ugly: All the homework left for Sunday
