You brought tears to my eyes with that line. Great post, and I'll keep your post in mind when I see the band this Saturday for only the second time live

absolutely amazing, very well written!
GO BUCKS and good luck for your last game, so many here are proud to say that we have The Best Damn Band in The Land - and you are a shinning example of why! |

It’s about shedding a tear while singing Carmen Ohio with 105,000 close friends while on the field in the Script Ohio formation.
|
Rest assured that there are many thousands in the stands shedding a tear as well. |
