The following pics are from the game. At the Outback Bowl, both marching bands perform, with the visiting band performing before the game. Unfortunately due to lightening in the area just before the scheduled start time, the game was delayed 75 minutes (it also rained for 15/20 minutes). This meant that Oakton’s pre-game performance was cancelled. The band played pep music to help the Oakton crowd to cheer their team to victory.
Oakton started the season in fine form. Going into the 4th quarter when they brought in their third string players they were up 41-6. They ended up winning 44-18.
The first picture is of Madison warming up. In the background is the Oakton band warming up for their performance. Shortly after the shot was taken the lightening was seen and everyone was moved into the school. The second pic is of Oakton’s first touchdown of the season. The third shot is the band celebrating the first touchdown. The last pic is on the touchdown that put Oakton up 28-0.

I enjoyed the game. I'm looking forward to attending more of them. Now that we're on the multimedia committee we are obligated to attend as many home games and marching competitions as possible. I know - it's dirty job - but someone's gotta do it. :-)
I think I see Josh in the band picture. Poor people who are standing right in front of the trumpets!
Barb....Josh is not in the shot. He is toward the farthest end of the trombone line that consists of 13 trombones. There are 18 trumpets. The 22 picalos (20 ladies and 2 gents) are in front of the trumpets.
So the question becomes, how often do the trombones "accidentally" have their slides slip down and hit the person in front of them? Used to be one of Bruce's favorite "accidents". lol
mmmm.....steak houses
