On August 31st, 2012, the band played an outdoor concert at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington, playing a 25-song set, almost 3 hours in length. The venue has been a favorite destination for the band resulting in a live album entitled The Gorge, which was released 8 years prior to this concert. The band reached deep into their catalog, choosing songs from their first album all the way to their latest album as of the time of the filming of the concert. Joining the band at this show was Tim Reynolds (electric guitar), Jeff Coffin (saxophone), and Rashawn Ross (horns). Tim Reynolds has been a frequent collaborator with Dave Matthews and the Dave Matthews Band, often joining Dave as a duet in smaller venues and also on various albums receiving dual billing.
I will be working with a rodeo theme this new school year. We will make the class and most activities a rodeo style of cowboys and cowgirls. In our very small town of Kaplanville, we are the county seat. Our schools close for our yearly one week long Kaplan Festival. We have the parade festival on that Friday and there is no school for the children.
We would leave school, start practice around 3:30 and wouldn’t get done until almost 5:30. So in this journal I will talk about what goes on in a usual practice during the season.

This changed due to NCAA legislation which moved the games to a brand new battlefield, the football fields of the campuses. Mizzou’s Director of Athletics, Chester L. Brewer, envisioned adding excitement to the rivalry game by inviting alumni to join in and “come home” to see the game. Thousands of people find their way home or discover their future home at Mizzou every year to participate in the annual homecoming rituals.

More than 9,000 fans packed into the past football field, Rollins Field (now known as Stankowski Field), and began the Homecoming tradition.
