Mr. & Mrs. Pilot Drummer go to Vegas...a photo diary

So you guys know me...I like to take photos. This year has been tough for me with the band's new location, but I knew we'd be in a good spot in Vegas, so I loaded up both camera bodies and let 'er rip! If you're more of the "album" type person, click here.

Bailout FAIL:


And, finally, yours truly and the Mrs.:

I enjoyed watching and listening to you guys on Saturday and Sunday. I had several conversations with folks (fans of several schools) who had commented on the missing band director. I told them of Dr. C's unfortunate passing -- and the legacy that he's left behind.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself.

From all accounts, the security in the arena was quick to hustle people out!

GoZags, should you find yourself in Chiles next year, come find me...not like I'm hard to find, with the wig and all. I had to explain the wig to students of a few schools, but it's a great tradition, to be sure.

The band was GREAT last weekend! Bravo! Clearly the class of the conference bands.

Thanks for the great pics, too... what a fun weekend overall, in spite of a less than stellar Sunday night.

Thanks 'Nut. Even with Sunday's result, it was a great weekend.

Agreed! The weekend was a ton of fun. It was my first stay in Vegas without just passing through. I hope to do it again next year, and see many more PN members there!

Sigh... I'm glad so many games ended up being televised, but if I miss a 3rd straight year in Vegas Idon't think even Nurse Ratched herself will be able to treat my madness...

Nice pictures Drummer, thanks for sharing....
