Last Friday I got the honor of guest conducting one stand tune for the high school marching band. I don't think my son was too embarrassed. We played the classic "Hey Baby!" I was just glad not to fall off that shaky podium. I was given the honor because of my part in finding and publicizing an online poll that the school marching band won as the DFW Marching Band of the Year.
Last week I took my son to his first OU game in Norman. I can't believe it took me this long to take him to see a Sooner home game. We've been to plenty of SMU games. As soon as I saw that OU and SMU had scheduled a home and away series I knew I had to go. I grew up a lifelong Sooner fan but got a degree from SMU so I wore an SMU shirt and an OU hat to the game.
We met up with my Uncle and Aunt who have season tickets and had a great time. We had to take photos by all the statues and the Sooner Schooner. I think my son enjoyed the pageantry. We will be returning to OU in October for an official college visit. SMU put up a good fight until the fourth quarter before the Sooners put them away. It was a fun game to watch.
