Re: Got a question brought on by the winter blues...

Susan's story makes sense to me, but there is one other factor that should be given an unknown amount of weight: there is a new Congress in D.C. with its finger on the Federal dollar. Some of these people have already made noise about money 'wasted' on military bands.

We do not have to start replaying the arguments about why military bands should or should not exist. The important point is that to many members of Congress, the only things that matter are (a) reducing federal spending and (b) not increasing taxes.

Will military bands be cut now? Will they be cut before Alexi can retire? Nobody knows. But the possibility that military bands could be cut should be a consideration for anyone who wants to have a career in a military band.
