My Favorite Places
I am heavily involved in different activities at the University of Oklahoma, so it's no surprise two out of my three favorite places are at OU.
Gaylord Memorial Stadium
This is my fourth year playing the saxophone for the Pride of Oklahoma. It was a dream come true when I stepped out onto Owen Field my freshmen year of college.
Here are some of our past performances:

Studio A Gaylord Hall
Another activity I'm heavily involved with is OU Nightly. It is a nightly newscast produced and ran by OU Students. I have done everything from run a camera all the way to anchoring a newscast. This program has helped me get ready for the real world. To see some of our previous shows check out our website.

Sallisaw, Oklahoma
Last but certainly not least is my home town of Sallisaw, OK. My family has lived there for at least 5 generations. I have a great family that loves and supports me no matter what. Both of my parents are elementary school principals and my brother is a senior in high school.

Oh, what fun pictures, Dylan - and how great that you are in the Pride! I didn't know the Pride had its own YouTube channel; super! When you make a link in Blogger, it's good to use link text, and that way people know just where they are going instead of seeing the raw http... so that would be: The Pride of Oklahoma: The Official YouTube Channel. Very cool! Now I am going to listen to some band music while I keep on working, thanks to your link! Are you broadcasting with OUNightly this semester? If so, let me know when you have a piece up that you want to share with the class: that would be fun to include in the announcements!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post. There's so much here that brings a reader in and gives them a sense of warmth and happiness, like the it must be infectious from the photos. You seem to really be sticking to your motto and doing things that make you happy and I am so glad for you. You family is adorable and I love that 90's Christmas picture, so cute! I hope you continue to be happy and that your family is well!
