First and Ten--Let's Do it Again
The Rest of the Story:
1: RAH! RAH! SIS BOOM BAH!! School is about to start and that means football season is almost upon us again. All across the nation in towns large and small, boys short and tall are practicing their fancy footwork and warming up their throwing arms in preparation for all the fun and excitement that is high school football. Footballs are being aired up and tossed around, goal posts are being repainted and the bleachers cleaned and shined. The band has been busy tuning instruments and practicing their pivot turns; learning new music and striving to entertain. And entertain they will; for everyone in town is anxiously awaiting the home games as well and they will fill the home bleachers with loud and sometimes rowdy cheering for the home town boys. Nothing beats a high school football game on a fall night.
2: And just to really get you in the spirit check out this fab video of the extremely talented Ohio State University marching band. They are ah--mazing.

3: But there are a few things that are always needed to be replaced or repaired before the season begins. Every small town coach knows the trials of trying to have a winning team on a shoestring budget. So after looking over what was useable and what needed replaced, the coach has to start pounding the pavement asking shopowners, bank tellers, and cafe diners to donate some money so the team won't look like the ragtag bunch they would otherwise. That's where the teapotters come in; we know all the best places to find stuff, surely we can find some helmets, some paint for the goalpost, some shoulder pads and maybe even some pom poms for the cheerleaders.
Challenge Translation:
Football season!! YEA!! Bring on the cheers, the helmets, the footballs, the tubas, the drums, everything you need for a fun night at the stadium. No opposing team members in disguise or it's the back door for you. (His favorite team is USC--colors cardinal and gold)
