Princeton, IN


Life on the road is going well. Here are some pictures from our stop in Princeton, Indiana. There are two things to notice about this concert hall: #1- the layout of the seats looks like a "W," very similar to the marching band formation created every friday night by the Willis Wildkat Marching Band to the tune of March Grandioso. #2- if you look closely there is a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Princeton knows how to boogie. 
This is what the bus looks like on our rides back to the hotel after concerts. Some very creative members of the band have installed Christmas lights over their seats. 

Backstage at the concert I found this awesome computer terminal, that I swear looks like it came straight out of "War Games." Also note the tiger head keeping watch over the superior 80's technology. 

This is an example of a typical lunch aboard the Field Band Bus. Laid out before you is a peanut butter & banana sandwich, a piece of cheese and some beef jerky. All tastefully arranged on a football napkin and placed on a euphonium gig bag table. 


This is my tour roommate, Erika, who is also new to the band. She plays oboe, and watching her make reeds is fascinating!
