The King is Dead. Long Live the King!

Yesterday was Frankie's last halftime show at Memorial Stadium. (A Disney show, beginning with Lion King themes as you might have guessed from the picture...)

Good game, great show and a great season. He'll lead the band onto the field at AT&T Park for the Emerald Bowl as his last official act as the Drum Major of the University of California Marching Band. ("The Best Damn Band in the Land!") A new drum major will be elected this Tuesday, and he or she will then have responsibility for the 230-member company that is the Cal Band.

It was an amazing experience, watching this from our Proud Parent seats in Section X of the Gold Zone. I simply could not be more impressed by or more proud of Frankie. Go Bears!

Thanks for sharing the pics and stories of Frankie's whole year! We loved keeping up with ... and catching him on TV! Sad to see it end, I'm sure. But, what a great experience and one that will help him throughout his post-college life! Very cool!
