When I lived in Albany, one of my favorite activities was to go to ASU football games for the bands. You will find no better bands than those at ASU games. Pray for these kids.

Ha! Kick-ass! Love it! I’ve always loved how the black colleges still use the traditional uniforms...including the drum majors using the mace. I was drum major in HS and I just flapped my arms. :)

Here is another link. I’m amazed (and thankful) that there don’t seem to be fatalities. The bus is on it’s SIDE. It could have been sooo much worse.

I was in one of those in high school (three of our seven-bus band convoy — on a narrow bridge — sideswiped by a wide load...). Prayers up!
