I was in the Air Force band I liked boot camp I actually liked it better than playing concerts. It was just fun! Best shape of my life.
The band didn't really rehearse the music requiring months of practice. 1 or 2 rehearsals and we were back on the road again. Too much traveling for me. Yes good to great sight reading is a must for the Washington bands, actually all of the military bands. You don't have to have a fantastic sound nor the worlds fastest fingers, surely good sight reading is needed. But it helps. You also need to know your scales, four sharps, four flats, major and minor scales and have a concerto or 2 ready for the auditions. Lastly the sight reading is often very difficult, so do your best, I was given a March and Capriccio Espagnol. Lucky for me because I had played this before.
