Jessie McGuire. I'm adding an older
thread for old time's sake.
The first time I was at the Championship, we rose for the (USA) National Anthem and a trumpeter began to play. I had goosebumps on top of goosebumps. That evening in our team meeting, our lead teacher, Mr. Bertucci, gave the team a lesson in how we should not burst out in spontaneous applause and cheers and continue applauding and cheering throughout the National Anthem.
We couldn't help ourselves but did try to control the cheering and applause better.
Thank you, everyone - the memories are great. I've received a PM or two from some folks in Atlanta, thanking us for the memories. I hope we continue to add them. 7 years is a lot of good memories.
