It was my son's first Bellarmine vs Gonzaga Football game and my first home
tailgate.
The actual game was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at San Jose City College (where the pre-game tailgate dinner was held from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.)
When I arrived at 5:00 p.m., I parked at San Jose City College's parking garage and walked to the dinner tables. The Bellarmine crew was setting up a catered dinner for chicken, sausage, and hot dogs. I decided to purchase 2 dinners for my wife and me while we waited for the Jazz Band to set up and play.
Alex played the trumpet in the Jazz Band, and I was surprised by the band's quality and the number of songs they played.
I recorded a short video on my iPhone of the Jazz Band playing a tune below:
After dinner, we walked to the nearby stadium to watch Bellarmine College Prep's Varsity team take on Gonzaga.
The Jazz Band played a few numbers while the football team was getting ready.
The football game was quite exciting, but unfortunately, Gonzaga immediately took the lead, first 7-0, then 14-0, from which Bellarmine could not quite catch up.
I was surprised by how crowded the game was - I didn't expect so many Bellarmine fans!
Bellarmine lost 19-38, but I enjoyed the game.
