We hope everyone had a great time at the Alumni Band Virtual Tailgate. We want to thank Dave Coakley, Steve Rosenheim and Paul Deafenbaugh for leading our Truck panel, and Hank Aaman, Steve Berkowitz, Ray Boyer, Fred Heath, Martin Horn, Alicia Ocando, Brenda Ocando, Dotty Reitwiesner, Mike Resnick, Frances Travers Spiegler, Dick Taylor, Delores and countless others for contributing stories. Paul recapped the night perfectly by noting that it doesn't matter when you marched or how you Trucked, it's the connections and friendships that matter.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in the video. These Truckers span three different decades and did a fantastic job together! Make sure to watch it a few times to catch everything that's in there, like Ken's marching, Briana's pot lids, Mark's section shirt reveals, and those Drumline visuals.
Squad of the Year - We really want to honor every squad! But our Drumline came out in full force, covering eight parts with six people. They were so good that we did not have to use the recording to pad the sound - it's all them. For giving us a steady beat and keeping us together, the Alumni Drumline is Squad of the Year! Well done Briana, Chris, Dion, Josh, Marc and Jay (our Guru).
We want to give a great big THANK YOU to Tom Zong for volunteering his time and amazing skills to put together this video. Many Thanks, Tom - Fantastic Job!!
Finally, we'd like to thank The Terps for beating those Gophers, and bringing Homecoming full circle! Make sure to wear your hats backwards today!
See you next year!
