Several things stand out for me:
+ the goosebumps upon entering the field and subsequent fanfare;
+ the fanfare fiasco Kim K. mentioned (it was the year Kurt D. was drum major - I bet he remembers too...) and the lack of goosebumps on that occasion;
+ looking up to find Mr. Kuentz glaring at you while directing (you'd so hoped no one had heard/seen your mistake...) or hearing same bellow at you: "if you're early, you're on time, if you're on time, you're late, and if you're late, you're NOTHIN'!!!";
+ and last but not least - anyone remember huddling under the overpass downtown waiting for the Fiesta Parade Sniper incident to end?

I *do* remember the sniper incident.... Huddling around a 3 wheeled police/escort vehicle listening to the police radio.....Seeing my dad walking toward, what seemed the direction the gunfire was coming from, trying to round up "stray" Ram Band members.... The mass running of band members from various schools in different directions, and finally, the *long* scrape on a car a brass player left from his instrument while running too close it.
