\"\"<\/a>On St. Patricks Day, 2012, my family and I went to Jorgenson Theater on the UConn campus to see an Irish band called Danu.\u00a0 There were five band members, and the instruments that were played were an accordion, guitar, fiddle, flute, and some sort of really cool drum.\u00a0 The girl member mostly sang, even though she played the flute.\u00a0 During the first half of the show, the band played songs that they had designated for the show.\u00a0 The songs with vocals were sung mostly in Galic, the Irish language.\u00a0 In between songs, a band member would tell about the song and usually tell a joke.\u00a0 Toward the end of the first half of the show, between one of the songs, the musicians said that depending on where you were in Ireland, the crowd would have different whoops or cheers to encourage the musicians.\u00a0 They then asked what our call was to encourage the UConn teams.\u00a0 For about one or two seconds, there was an awkward silence, and then I heard a voice shout \u201cUConn!\u201d, and the crowd responded \u201cHuskies!\u201d, like it had been practiced many times!\u00a0 The voice ended up being my dad!\u00a0 He got to do it a couple more times because the musicians thought it was a really cool call and got a kick out of it!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During the intermission, we found out that my cousins Christine and Catherine, and Christine\u2019s boyfriend J.C. were there.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t know that it was my dad that began the Husky call.\u00a0 It was also nice because my dad and I got to talk to J.C. during the break.\u00a0 During the second half, the band sang their favorite Irish songs and they were all very fun.\u00a0 After one of the songs, all the musicians ecept the drummer left the stage.\u00a0 Then, the drummer did the longest drum roll and solo that I had ever seen.\u00a0 The solo was the most amazing part of the show!\u00a0 After this, the band came back on, playing a few more songs before leaving the stage.\u00a0 Danu came back on stage because they received a standing ovation.\u00a0 After the show, the band came out in the lobby to sign autographs.\u00a0 We each got all the musicians autographs.\u00a0 It was a great show and it was a nice ending to St. Patrick\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
