Cadet Pep Band

http://vimeo.com/39975241

"Tricia", the girl in the center, is the sophomore daughter of my best friend from West Point. She, another cadet, and a major took turns taking my son and me around West Point last Thursday. Anyway, she's (obviously) in the Cadet Pep Band, which plays at football games and such, and in this video they were up on the "Poop Deck" in the mess hall playing at a "spirit dinner" for the cadets down below. Because of her we were able not only to eat in the Mess Hall, but to watch and film while they performed. Hope you enjoy watching it! (Be sure to watch it in HD by clicking the blue logo in the lower right.)

These are all cadets in this video.

I'm just "another cadet" ?

You are if I'm being somewhat discreet so as not to put your name all over the place! Security concerns and all that :)

Next campus you take your son to visit should be the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. We know a Cadet who would love to give you both a special access tour!

The next campus you need to take your son to visit is the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. We have a certain sophomore cadet there who would be honored to give you a special access tour!

Took him there in 2006 :-)

Don't think I'll be taking him to Navy--this trip was plenty expensive enough!

If you come to Navy, give me a call. I know a place you can stay real cheap as long as you drink Scotch.

Dang, I never developed a taste for scotch. Think the innkeeper would allow me to make mojitos instead? :P
