Alright, we’re on our first full day of Preseason Camp with both R.A.T.s and Vets, and things are coming along great!  We’ve had some beautiful weather here on Bodie Hinton Field, and everyone’s excited to get ready for marching season.

I’d like to apologize to anyone who tried to access the Photo Gallery albums yesterday and couldn’t - they were accidentally password protected; however, this has been corrected.  So, without further ado, here are some new photos.

• New Preseason Camp photos (start here)
• New R.A.T. Activity photos (start here)

I told you it’d get crowded once everyone showed up.

Welcome to Preseason Camp 2008!

The AUMB - not for the claustrophobic.

Meanwhile, the percussionists burn the midnight oil.

Hold on to your hats, R.A.T.s!  It’s Word Up!

We close each day of Preseason Camp the right way - singing our Alma Mater.

After rehearsal’s over, the R.A.T. guys anxiously await to meet their R.A.T. Moms.

Similarly, the R.A.T. girls wait outside to hear who their R.A.T. Dad is.

Each new R.A.T. family receives a signed Certificate of Adoption which clearly states the terms of adoption: that each rookie shall be a R.A.T. until that fateful day when the Auburn Tigers claim victory over the Crimson Tide.

Twins! Each happy R.A.T. Family heads up to Bodie Hinton Field, where the Moms and Dads their their kids to ice cream.

Camp is just beginning!  More pictures are coming, so keep an eye on the R.A.T. Blog for updates!  WAR EAGLE!
