Two birds with one song

Last night, we attended the BYU-UCLA football game.  Since the BYU football team doesn't make an appearance in Southern California very often (twice in 20 years), we try to attend the games when they do come.  We had been planning to go to the game for a few months when Allie's marching band instructor interrupted our plans.  The marching band was going to be performing that night...at the BYU/UCLA game in the Rose Bowl!!  We couldn't believe our luck!.  The one football game that we were planning to attend, Allie would be playing at half time.  It was like killing two birds with one song.

Gabe, Jeff and I had a great time at the game.  We ran into several members of our ward there, and sat with them during the game.  The support for the BYU team was evident with many, many fans throughout the stadium.  For half time, 20 of the area's best marching band (including ours) marched out onto the field with the UCLA marching band and performed a few songs together.  It was really fun to see Allie down on the field.  She even happened to be on the big screen!  We nearly won the game, we led the entire game until the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter when it was the other team's turn to pull off a miraculous win.
