So, last night we played in College Station, TX, home of Texas A&M University. Well, a few of us decided to walk back to the hotel after the show and as we were walking through the campus we heard Taps being played by a solo trumpet in the distance. Well, it was a little eerie and beautiful at the same time. As we kept walking we came nearer to where the player was. Well, after they finished, all of a sudden 4 people start sprinting down the quad, headed in our direction. To get of their way we drifted to the sides of the path, until they sprinted right up to us. We were all like "What the &^$^(&*" Then they told us we were supposed to salute or stand at attention or something for them. We told them "We didn't go to school here and had no idea what they were talking about." They told us how disrespectful we were being and we basically just started walking away, not sure how to react. One of our group was a girl and if a guy ran up to her at top speed and got in her face, what would keep her from pulling out the mace or something similar. This must be some sort of military tradition (it is a very Army school), I'll have to ask my dad about it. Isn't that weird?

That is a bit bizarre and funny.
When I was on tour we played a lot of universities and there were many that had their own traditions. Never had anyone run up to me and give me grief about not following their tradition but then again I am 6'2" and weigh 250 pounds.
Maybe I should carry mace.
