Dive-Bombing Crickets
Donny's in 7th grade band, and he plays the trombone.
(Don't worry, I'm getting to the crickets)
(Don't worry, I'm getting to the crickets)
Last weekend he got to play with the high school band at a football game.
It was pretty exciting.
And he had a blast...
except for the dive-bombing crickets.
WHAT?!
I know, I had to hear that twice too.
Apparently there are flying crickets all over the stands...
and they dive-bomb into the people and stands.
So, while Donny was playing his trombone,
he would feel things landing on him.
Kind of sounds like something out of a nightmare to me.
He said a lot of them just plummeted to their death in the stands.
It was quite an evening.
And, then, there was the whole incident where he fell and broke the trombone...
but we won't go into that!!
