The Beautiful Part of a Very Brutal Affair

That's what we (The Redcoat Band) are. We bring pageantry and awesome music to the blood-soaked sport of football, and we do it very well.

Tomorrow is game one. I am uber excited about it. Just the thought of 92,000+ screaming fans cheering as loud as possible for one common goal as I add the sound of my trumpet to the sound of my band which is the embodiment of the spirit of The University of Georgia. We were told tonight after rehearsal that when people see us in uniform, they are basically seeing a personification of The University of Georgia. We have the symbol of the great state of Georgia plastered on our shakos (hats) and our t-shirts, and we have the symbol of the #1 college in the world, The University of Georgia plastered on our uniforms and on our baseball caps. I wear these symbols proudly in the hopes of bringing honor and glory to the honorable state of which I am a citizen and to the glorious school of which I am a student.

In other news, I was called on today to fill in for another trumpet player who will not be marching at tomorrow's game. This means that I have (had) to learn a brand new routine! Everything I have practiced between band camp and now is pointless for tomorrow's game. I had a couple reps on half time and one of presume tonight and will get some more practice during rehearsal tomorrow morning before the game. *Sigh* I really hope I don't screw it up. I have the sentence "If you fall in the arch, roll to the outside!" streaming through my mind right now. I really don't want to be that guy who falls while running in for pre game. Well, we will see what happens tomorrow. Go Dawgs, beat Cajuns!
