The U.S. Army Field Band also came to our college here at Indiana
Wesleyan University in Marion, In. I had the privilege to play one song
with the band and I got to sit next to the first chair clarinet player.
Come to find out that he was the teacher of my clarinet teacher now. The
clarinet quartet also gave a concert the next day for us. It was an
amazing show.
