2008 Highlights - Amanda in the Blue Band

Sept 20, 2008, Danielle and I drove out to Penn State to see the PSU vs Temple football game. Ok, not really, we actually went to see Amanda perform at halftime with the Blue Band. We sat way way way up in the nosebleed seats in the largest stadium in North America, jam packed with 107,282 people. A fun time for some, but mom really does not like heights and isn't fond of crowds either. But I had to see my baby at least once in the big show, and she is a junior already and this is the first time it's happened. We got tickets once her freshman year but it rained and they performed in the arena across the street, which isn't really the same. Now because Penn State had a really great season, they are going to be in the Rose Bowl Parade and Game on New Years Day 2009. Manda is totally psyched to be going to California, and we are excited for her. It will be a tough day, they have to get up at 4AM, march in a 5 1/2 mile parade, go to the game and then perform halftime. Look for my baby on TV!
