I was thinking it would have been cool to have one of us flying overhead but there's no way they could include it without doing a cut.....or....maybe they could have zoomed up with a r-e-a-l-l-y long telephoto lens.

Recognized a few people, all the places, and my HS (from 20 years ago) was the football team and marching band.
