Luke’s last halftime marching band show.

I was thinking that was what it was
Bittersweet.

Wow.
Did he enjoy it?
-
Yeah, it’s good camaraderie. Most of his best friend’s are in band, several participating in this band. It was a big part of his life. I’m getting a few videos uploaded….

This is at the end of every game as the band crosses back over the campus, it’s a tradition for them to basically overrun the campus. I started the video a little too late, the dorm at the beginning of the video they are crossing in front of is called James River Hall. 14 years ago, students in James River complained about the band marching back after the game being too loud and waking them up (at 9:30? 10?)… Ever since, the band has a chant going past “ Fuck…You…James River… Fuck… You… James River….” Current residents have no idea what it’s about.

Here’s them singing in the middle of the quad..,

A second to Georges post!
I dont think that people who are not involved with band realize how much time and effort the students have to do.

My son made friends in college band he still has today. I bet Luke will share the same experience.
Luke's band looks like they are a fun bunch. May you and he enjoy the memories...

An organization like that makes parenting a lot easier, it is good for everyone involved.
My daughter was in the high school band at Westfield and that took up a good amount of her spare time. She never connected with the CNU band, in college it was the County Rescue Squad.
