Hagerstown, MD

I'm going to try really hard to blog from each stop on my inaugural tour with TUSAFB. Last night we had our first official tour performance. It was a fun concert. Chris played "Pantomime" which was awesome!  So far the concerts are really fun. It is hard not to get distracted during the Armed Forces Medley because I like to look out and see all the people standing up. There are so many Navy & Army, and the Marines always look really proud and hardcore. The poor Coast Guard... there is usually at least one representative! 

Here is a picture from my seat in the band looking out. I think it is going to be interesting getting to play on so many different stages. It will be a new way of listening. I think I have been spoiled by the Murchison. 

After the concert we actually drove back home because the venue was only about an hour away. This morning I got up bright and early to go meet the tour buses for our big departure. I'm glad I left early because I got stuck downtown for half an hour because of the Baltimore Marathon. Some of the visual highlights were women dressed in purple with Maryland Crab Hats on, a man who was jumping rope, presumably for the entire 26 miles, and a man juggling the whole way.  

So now I'm on the tour bus and on the road for the next 35 days. Who knows what adventures are in store?
