Sophomore year of high school …  
Homecoming. Only reason I was there was I was part of the half time show! The theater group I was in had a float at the homecoming parade, and all the floats were brought out on the field.  
(sorry, no pictures! Darn…)

For years I attended local high school games because most of our church orchestra was in marching band and school orchestra. I got to the concerts as well.

I never attended a high school game but I attended many of the college home soccer and basketball games… mainly because I was one of the photographers for the school paper and yearbook.
