Years ago, some of my first Cal memories were made at UC Davis. I was introduced to Cal Band by spending a week at their annual camp held in August on the Davis campus. Prior to that time, I never had a rooting interest when it came to college sports. That would change very quickly in the months to come. I’ve always thought that my Cal fandom was born during those hot summer days when the upperclassmen urged us all to stay hydrated while we ran our pregame show time and time again.
But enough about my origin story.
