As a member of the Hawkeye Marching Band, I was given the unbelievable opportunity to travel to Tempe, Arizona and perform at the Insight Bowl where our very own Hawkeyes faced off against Oklahoma. Unfortunately the Hawks lost 31-14, but I’ll never forget my very first trip to a bowl game.<\/p>\n

For me, the trip to Arizona was like a break within a break. Winter break is roughly about a month long, which for me, is quite a while to be apart from all the great friends I’ve made during my short time at Iowa. So being able to travel and perform together in Arizona in the middle of that break was like a whole other vacation. Not to mention the warm Arizona weather was quite the bonus! I can’t say that I would ever complain about walking outside barefooted and in shorts and a t-shirt in the middle of December!<\/p>\n

Although it was a loss, the bowl is something I’ll never forget. The time I spent with friends, and the people I met are something that will stay with me for a long time to come. Attending the University of Iowa and auditioning to be in the Hawkeye Marching Band are two of the best decisions I’ve made in my life thus far.<\/p>\n
