Dad loved going to BYU football games and frequently dragged Mom along. It all started in 1965 when Karen was the "Big Time Twirling Star" with the marching band. (She can post her comments as to the official title if she wants.) Dad would watch the games with intensity and Mom would patiently sit in the stands knitting something while the game happened around her. About midway through the game, lots of people got up and went different places while mom put down her knitting to enjoy the Halftime show. At the end of the show, she would pick up her knitting and continue while everyone else cheered the football game. This procedure continued long past Karen's twirling and graduation and raising 5 kids. Dad would watch the football game and mom would knit.
Well if justice were ever to be served and Mom were to live her dream, it would have happened last night in Sam Boyd Stadium where UNLV plays their home football games. Starting at 1:00 pm and continuing until 8:30, high school marching band after high school marching band from Clark County Nevada performed their halftime show. They didn't even have a football game break out between groups. Mom would have loved it.
Vicki, Spencer and I watched the show from 6:30 to 8:30. Ben Performed in the last group. I still have enough Dad in me that I missed the football game, but the show was nice.
