The Golden Eagle’s Head
1985  High School  Gymnasium
High School Pep Band
“Suddenly two audience members from the opposing side ran across the court during a timeout and grabbed the Golden Eagles head off of our cheerleader mascot.
Seeing this, I unclipped my saxophone and laid it down, then jumped over two rows down the stands, then to the floor, and ran across with the football team, and then crowd, behind me.
They cancelled the game. We got our Eagle’s head back.”
Key Lesson: When something wrong happens, ACT. Don’t wait for someone else. The crowd will follow if you lead.
