Marching Band: Who Wore It Best

The Marching Knights ran a "who wore it best" series on Instagram last week. I'd argue the clarinets got robbed being pitted against the drum majors, who got "rainbow" as their color (the clarinets had green):

National Daughters Day 2024

I pulled a bunch of photos of Abby and I to make a Facebook post on Wednesday. I did not use them all for the post, but thought it would be nice to have them all here in one spot:

Return of Friday Night Lights

I didn't take any photos or video at the seasoner opener before Labor Day (their uniforms were still bring cleaned and we had guests so we left early). The band looked great this week and were super energetic:

Triple Date - Escape Room and Dinner

We met up with the Shadels and Dukes for a rare Sunday evening out with Cville Escape Room followed by dinner at Bizou on the downtown mall:

Andorra Pictures

Still waiting on a larger photo dump from Abby, but she sent us a couple of pictures from her trip to Andorra:

Pretending to have binoculars (apparently Andrew actually had a pair)

Date Night - Launching Party 2024

 

Springsteen Concert

After several delays, Kevin and Jim finally got to see Bruce at Nats Park:

Pride Festival 2024

Kevin went to DC for the Bruce Springsteen concert and Benji had D&D, so I took a volunteer shift at Pride and then met Holly for dinner at Zocalo:

With Raya and Barb at the CBI booth

Holly and I shared this amazing dessert to cap the evening

More pictures from Abby (her life is infinitely more interesting than ours right now):

Dartmouth Dinner in Denmark

Could not help myself with the alliteration. Abby said she had a really fun time. All 5 of them got together and everyone brought or cooked something:

Rajul and Abby on one side; Andrew, Katharine and Jesse on the other.

Abby was very proud of these nachos, which they all made together because Jesse was running late from class

Professor Earl Dudley

Earl died on Sunday (after a long illness), and I wanted to post a few pictures to mark the date:

First Pictures from Denmark!

Abby's buddy group went into the city to explore on Friday and she shared pictures from her friend's camera:

Abby, Andrew and Catherine went to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch

Andrew has a nice camera and was taking lots of pictures for them

This one's my favorite

They met up with a larger group for exploring and dinner at Reffin food market

First BACON/FTC meeting of the school year

I spotted Benji on their Instagram:
