The Spirit of Houston Cougar Marching Band: Sara Who Loves Life

Band's a repository of memories. This was probably the most random.

2003.

We were eating lunch before a game in the band hall. We didn't always have enough places for us to sit and eat at a table per se, but we'd find places to hunker down and eat. I had done just that with Robby and a few others by the lockers.

A clarinetist walked by and asked us if we had ever played the Locker Game before. We responded no and that we didn't know what it is.

She explained that it was a game where you take turns doing random things as you run past the lockers to make the other person laugh. She demonstrated by running and jumping like a ballerina. She was laughing all the while.

Robby, straight-faced and monotone, responded, "Wow, you must really love life."

She was a music major who was almost always bubbly and energetic and ... loving life. I've long since forgotten her last name, but we remember her as Sara Who Loves Life.
