Last Friday night, I showed Benjy what it means to be an American high schooler when I took him to his very first high school football game.

We watched the Mighty Dobson Mustangs nobly battle the Mesquite something-or-others in an epic battle of good an evil.  In this case, as was the case when I went to school at Dosbson, the epic battle ended with Dobson THRASHED.  We left at the end of the first quarter, when it was 19-0 Mesquite.

But BEFORE we left, we saw a great many exciting things.

We saw Mesquite’s Homecoming Queen flown into the game on a helicopter (let me tell you, that sure didn’t happen when I was in high school).

We saw fireworks after every Mesquite touchdown (also DIDN’T happen when I was in high school).

And, most importantly of all, we saw the Dobson High Marching Band rock on with their awesome pre-game show.

And, really, as much as I love football, I was there to see the band.

Benjy had a great time, impressed all with his undeniable cuteness, and learned a handy new sports phrase, “Come ON!”  since I was shouting it just about every three seconds.

Fun had by all.
