Chicago Fire game

On Wednesday I got to play at a Chicago Fire game with my marching band. It was the finals of the U.S. cup or something. It was a lot of fun. First, we played in front of the only gate for 45 minutes before the game started. Mr. Dahl said we played in front of about 10,00 people! Then, we went in (we got in free instead of $25 tickets!) and watched the game. The Fire won 3-1, and it was an exciting game with an enthusiastic crowd. At the end of the game we played a song for everyone.
One of the best part was that when we were playing in front of the stadium there this one L.A. Galaxy fan who walked past (and had had a few too many beers already) and started pretending to conduct us. Then he went in danced past us between the conductors and us. Mr. Dahl told him to "go have some fun somewhere else." So he went in the stadium and started watching us from the back of the stadium (we were standing up against the wall). He was saying stuff like "Go Galaxy." He even dropped a piece of paper on the band. About 20 or 30 minutes after the game, we were loading the buses, and he came on our bus and congratulated us. All in all, it was a great time.
