Drum Major Kara of the Jacksonville State University Marching Southerners was not prepared for the surprise that emerged from the drum line during what she thought was a special performance for their alumni.

Nic, Kara’s boyfriend at the time, had acquired a band uniform (not hard, since he was a former member) and blended into the drum line as they performed a special cadence. Kara, not looking for Nic, didn’t see that he had joined the snares until the drummers revealed a surprise message.

Nic then emerged, revealing himself once the feathered hat came off, and prepped to drop to one knee. It took Kara a while to get down from her stand and remove her glove, but obviously from how she was acting right away everyone knew she was going to say yes!

I mean, would you go through all the trouble to take off your glove and rush down onto the field if you were going to say no? I don’t think so! Congratulations to the marching couple.
