Tailgating Party with the Decatur Eagles

We drove into town just in time for halftime of the Decatur Eagles Homecoming Football Game. We are here for my 20th High School Reunion. I really just wanted to see the Eagle Dolls halftime performance. Twenty years ago I was an Eagle Doll, a drill team of 10. Well, they didn't perform during halftime because they were doing all the homecoming queen stuff. I was a little disappointed. But we had a great time tailgating with my family. They had everything all set up when we got there, with Scott's big BBQ, hamburgers and hot dogs, tables and chairs.










You can start laughing now.... Since I am in the reminiscing mode of my high school days and it will only be short lived, here are some great pictures of me on drill team from my year book. Just remember this was back in the 80's. Don't you love the big hair, tall bangs and you can't tell in the pictures but blue eye shadow was so in back then.

Wow Melissa, Band sweetheart and Eagle Doll? Cool. It's fun seeing what you looked like in HS. You were way cool with the big bangs/hair and blue eyeshadow. I'm glad your style has changed with the times.
Looks like you and your fam had a fun tailgaiting party. Fun times!

I have my 20th next year (Greg just loves to make fun of me since he is younger)! But we had 350 in our grad class. It will be fun to see if anyone has changed since our 10 year! I am glad you had a good time!
