On, Wisconsin!

The two of us before we left for the show

This man is absolutely incredible!


Not only did he get to try his first taste of Dippin' Dots, his jaw was perpetually open for the whole concert!



There really isn't anything else like a Badger Band concert... we'd heard about them for years, and finally on Saturday night Colin and I got to attend with Mimi, Bubba, and Dee Dee. Of course, within 10 minutes of parking the car my Dad ran into someone he knew. What a huge alumni network! Words can't do justice to the entire three hour, ear drum popping event. Suffice it to say, where else will you see pyrotechnics, flying band directors in sequins and red cowboy boots, a world renown steelpan and accordion player, a gospel choir, and a band 250 members strong?

Well, when you've said Wisconsin, you've said it all.

And for the record, Colin does think he might go to the "Bucky School"... and he's now fairly certain he'll play trombone. Because, as he said, "You have to play brass!"
