Some fans made my day today!
First, right after morning rehearsal I was approached by a couple and their middle school aged daughter. They told me that their daughter played trumpet and they asked what it took to be a Redcoat. I smiled and said "A lot of practice and actually learning scales helps too." We continued to talk for 10-15 minutes. It was fun.
Then after the game, I was exhausted, so I went and crashed at Tate for a few minutes. As I was leaving, this guy who was shwasted was stumbing through. He looked at me and said "Hey Redcoat! Can I play your tuba?" Without missing a beat, me and his buddy who was escorting him to make sure he didn't hurt himself said "It's a trumpet, and no." and exactly the same time! LOL. I thanked his companion for the assist and moved on.
Not 30 seconds after that, I was stopped by another fan who shook my hand and said "Y'all played well today!" I thanked him for the compliment and griped about the game for a couple minutes with him before departing for my dorm.
Finally, as I was leaving Tate to head back to ECV, I decided to walk though Reed Plaza to shorten my walk. Well, as I approached Reed Plaza, I noticed that there was a lady that was locking up and not letting people through. I walked up to her and she asked me if I lived in Reed and I said "No, I was just planning on cutting through to get to East Campus." She looked around and said "Eh, your with the band, come on through." I smiled and said thanks, but on the inside I was laughing up a storm! It amazes me how much people care about the band! I love it!
It's great to be a Georgia Bulldog. It's awesome to be a Redcoat!!!
