Sitting In The Middle of a Drum Circle

This proves that you CAN go home again!

East Lansing, Michigan on a crisp fall day found us on the campus of Michigan State University to participate in the 40th Alumni Band Day.

Three of our new Board of Directors are MSU Alumni Band Trumpet Players. Brad Poreda is Vice President, Howard Stukey is Chairman, and Doug Brown is the Host and Executive Director.
Feeling just a little shy, I found myself surrounded by awesome percussionists. I whipped out my iPhone and started recording video while holding a microphone. To say the the earth moved beneath me is an under-statement. When you play the video above, there are stills for the first 35 seconds, then the drum line video begins. 

Playing for 70,000+

With just one hour of practice on the field it all came back to us, 8 to 5. Feeling the energy from the stands was just too good to put into words. From where we were, looking up at the stands, it sure felt like being home again.

Thanks to Lesa Nelson for the wonderful still photography and especially to John Madden, Director of the Spartan Marching Band, our host!
