Before I even came to Auburn, I had a slight love affair with marching bands. Since being at Auburn, it has become my obsession.
The band comes on the field during the pre-game, and I get beyond excited every time. They have an insane pump up video and their pre-game performance leaves me speechless. To sum up my obsession: I want them to perform at my wedding...
This is my face when the band takes the field...
The "Drum Major" is the head of the marching band. Three of them walk out of the tunnel onto the field while the band video is playing on the jumbo-tron, spinning their septors. When the video stops, the Drum majors start to spin their septors faster. Suddenly they freeze, and throw them into the field.
It is my favorite part of the entire game. The stadium goes nuts, and I cry.
And then he does the classic Drum major scissor run.
So, one can image how my life changed when my Mom and I were at the Tiger Walk, and who ran by? The drum major.
