Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band Exhibition Show - August 19 2011

Our middle daughter, Shauna, invited Pat & I to join her for the Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band Exhibition Show held at Memorial Stadium on August 19 2011 at 7:00pm.  It proved to be another evening of fantastic entertainment given by the University of Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band.  Pat and I met Shauna  at Lazlo's in the Haymarket  for Lahvosh before going over for the marching band show.  As is usual, I took pictures to share with individuals on my blog.  I am listing the pictures below for your enjoyment.

I took the above pictures that really identify the Haymarket area.

We walked on over to Memorial Stadium and I took pictures of the capital building shown in a cluster of downtown buildings and an imposing look at the outside of the stadium.

Once inside the stadium we positioned ourselves high enough in the center of the West Stands to give us a good view of the Cornhusker Marching Band Exhibition Show.  The following pictures are of the band in various stages of their performance. 

The pictures below represent the crowd in attendance for this Cornhusker Marching Band Show.

I found some cute young huskers to include in this series of exhibition pictures. 

The evening started with an announcement that with the storm clouds all around us, the show would be stopped if a heavy rain settled in, or if lightning was a threat to the safety of both the band members and the audience.  I have added some pictures of the the storm clouds to show you the concerns were not unfounded..

Fortunately, all that we received during the show was some slight sprinkles, and we were actually protected by the overhang of the sky boxes.  The last picture of the storm clouds tonight is shown below.  I took this last picture on the way to The Mill for coffee.

We had a delightful time at this 2011 Cornhusker Marching Bank Exhibition Show and do feel that they are certainly ready for this first season as a member of the Big 10 conference.  Go Big Red!!!!!
