The USAA Concert Band, Chorus, and Jazz Band perform a concert every spring at Mission San Jose. It's an incredible event. You get to watch the sun set over a historic backdrop while the music plays. For my friends in D.C., imagine Wolf Trap if it were built in the 1700s only free and with your coworkers on stage (being amazingly talented -- when you have 22000 employees to pick from, you get some that probably should have gone into music instead of accounting).

Some shots of the mission itself are followed by Jose (Laura's Significant Other and my companion for the evening), Scott, Chip, and Laura rehearsing the National Anthem, Bruce leading the concert band halfway through the night, a little later leading the chorus, and Laura (that's my skirt!), Irma, and Nicole singing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, which was a huge hit. Laura's one of those wildly talented people I was referring to, having served in the Air Force before she came to USAA and my favorite feral cat mommy. ;)
