We pulled into the parking lot and saw literally dozens of cars parked in the lot. There were tailgate parties going on *everywhere*. It was one of those "catch your breath" moments. I know I sound sappy, but I truly enjoy this. I'm having so much fun being included in this!!
We offloaded the kids and fed them dinner (and ourselves), then had them go back to the busses and get their uniforms on. Then we volunteers went off to the stadium to see about cleaning the stands (we do that before every game).
After the stands were cleaned up (we mainly just policed for trash since there had been a game prior to ours!), the kids came in and started up into the stands. Miss A is calling the stands the "nosebleed" stands, but in actuality, I think they should be called 'cardio' stands for the sheer fact that they were steep and there were a LOT of stairs to climb!!
This is a small gathering of the band---it's the flute section. You can see Miss A talking to her friends--they were trading glasses. She wasn't aware that I took the picture!
We're in the white uniform for the duration of our playoffs. It's going to be an incredible thing for the next several weeks. Hopefully they're going to continue on past next weekend. We play a very tough team. We're playing at Cowboys' Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Should be lots of fun. I've heard from my husband that he's going to go to the game. The more support for the team, the better.
At the end of our halftime show, our band spelled out "Eagles". It's really impressive to see, especially given the size of the band.
You can tell how high up we were from these pictures...
