So, in November 2000 I visited my parents back in Minnesota (for Thanksgiving). Luckily, there was a Gopher football game the weekend before (on the 18th), so I got to go watch the band (which my brother was in) and see a few of the people who were in band when I was.
It's really strange to watch from the seats without marching, especially during pregame, which I can almost still do from memory, except for the formations they've changed for the University's 150th anniversary.... I can still remember the feeling of that adreneline rush I got the last time I marched pregame.
However, this time I got a chance to take pictures during the band performance. Something I never got to do when I was actually marching :-)
So, without further ado, here are the pictures from pregame. I took some from halftime too, but they don't mean as much to me since I don't have the connection to the show, since I've never marched it. If for some reason you're someone from the band in the 2000 season, you can e-mail me and I can send you the images.
So, another part of the reason for going to the game was to get to say "Hi" to some of the people I marched with, and catch up a little on the past two years as I've been out here in Utah. Unfortunately I didn't carry my camera around the entire game, but during the traditional last game of the season "senior march around," I took a few pictures.
