I'm probably unique on the clarinet list in that part of my job is marching
football half-time shows. I play in the Army Band at West Point, and we do
shows at most of the Army football games. Despite that, after nearly 20
years of marching band (with a 4-year reprieve at the New England
Conservatory-not in the curriculum) I fail to see the connection between
marching band and music. It should be part of the phys ed department.

Mark - what is your service background?
