friday night lights

a friday evening with nothing to do doesn't happen too often for us, so imagine my surprise when we finally had one and were able to attend the exeter senior high school football game. ok, so i hardly went there for the football (seriously, they haven't won this year)...you got it...call me all the names in the book you want...i was there for the marching band - i am band nerd, hear me roar!! and they did not disappoint!!! this year's theme was thriller (so how could i as a michael jackson and marching band fan resist!).

the one and only tony d!

seeing as the rest of my family is also on the band (nerd) wagon, we all made the trek to the hill of the high school (none of us were interested in paying for a ticket for the game we knew they would lose) for the pregame show. then we headed back to mimi and poppop's for pizza to wait it out until the post game marching band show where we watched from inside the stadium.

i took waaaayyyy too many pictures and video of the entire field show, but i was just so impressed!! the marching band is the biggest in the history of the school and has been winning accolade after accolade at cavalcade competition's throughout the area! they are quite impressive...but you can see that for yourself.

here is my favorite clip of the theme song from jurassic park (another favorite of mine due to my obsession with dinosaurs and that movie), leading into thriller, complete with the dance sequence...it's kind of lengthy, but well worth it!!
