It was all about football on Saturday in Summerville, SC. As you can see, the team was ready to go and the crazed fans were painted for the occasion.
With a national focus on Summerville High School for one Saturday afternoon, you would have thought that the winningest coach in football, ever, would have brought his team to play. Well that wasn't the case. In front of the ESPN cameras, the Summerville Green Wave was out-performed, out-juked, and out-coached by a nationally ranked team from Florida. No contest, but......do not fear......
The pride of Summerville Green Wave marching band brought their best to the game and looked and sounded great in their first performance of the season. Harrison was stoked for the opportunity and the national TV exposure. Would he be discovered? Would they catch his good side? Does he have a good side? Wait....does he have a saxophone? Well not exactly. Only m
inutes before he had to be at the school, he became aware that he had left his sax on the bus Friday afternoon. What to do? Well, without a panic, mom went into action and called our good friends the Rivers. Their son Michael jumped at the opportunity to have his sax on national TV. The day is saved! Freshman year, first game, national TV, and a valuable lesson learned.

It was a wonderful experience to see our new high schooler "plugged in" and enjoying one of the more successful organizations in Summerville. We are very proud of how hard he has worked to get ready for the season.
Midway through the 3rd quarter the heavens opened up and the rain, thunder, and lightning came. The game was delayed for nearly an hour but Jackson and Carson found plenty to keep them busy. The game resumed, but only a limited number of the band returned to the stands. The woodwinds left their instruments inside as not to get their pads wet. We stuck around until the bitter end, but overall the Tucker family had a wonderful time.
