Patrick is now a married man!

Our percussion caption head, Patrick Coughlin, is now a married man!  He married Darlayne this past Saturday and it was a really beautiful wedding - complete with a song Patrick wrote for his new wife as she walked down the aisle!  I couldn't be more happy for them - they make a great couple!

Representing the Lighthouse Brigade family were myself, Steve Lange, Tony Holm, Mike Clobes, and Matt Koscinski and his awesome wife, Kim.  At one point during the reception, Patrick, Darlayne and a bunch of alumni from the University of Wisconsin Marching Band played the traditional cadence around a table using silverware and plates (I was told by Matt - another UW Band alumnus - that this was always done at their annual banquet as well).  Needles to say - there were many broken plates when it was finished!

So - congrats to Patrick and Darlayne!  I am sure he will have many great stories to tell about their honeymoon in London, Paris and Italy when we all meet again in April for Brigade rehearsals!

Today's marching member "shout-out" goes out to: Andrew (rookie tenor saxophone).
