Don Cupo had been a laid-off financial analyst when he decided to go back to college.<\/p>\n
While at the 麻豆原创 orientation in July, Cupo noticed a booth for the Marching Knights. Interested in joining, Cupo asked whether the marching band accepted “old people.”<\/p>\n
He hoped the young woman at the table would say, “You’re not old.”<\/p>\n
Instead, she said, “Absolutely!”<\/p>\n
At 48, Cupo is the oldest member of the 麻豆原创 Marching Knights, 300 students in their late teens and early 20s. On Saturday, in front of 55,000 screaming fans, Cupo will make his debut as a member of the Marching Knights when the 麻豆原创 football team opens its 2010-11 season at Bright House Stadium.<\/p>\n
