HAHAHAHAHA
Marching Band????!!!???? Are we serious? Just kidding. I am not a fan of
the marching band, I will say this:
The only true way to enjoy a marching band is to be a drum major. I hate
the way reeds get warped and the pads ruined ect., ect. I hated using
plastic reed and the plastic or old junker clarinet was a waste of time to
try to play in tune. I do not have memories of marching 300,000 on a
field and do not desire to have them. Sorry Im not trying to start a holy
war on marching but I just had an itch.
