- - MARCHING BAND, that is!:-)
I happened upon an LOL article in the paper about this 102 member group of band members who "never got over" their high school/college marching band experience! It is a Ptld area band that got a last minute invite to participate in the Inaugeral Parade in DC (and was seriously noticed by the Obamas)!
I looked up their web site a few min. ago & it made my day! One of their band's mottos is "We'd rather drop a Souzaphone then miss a meal". The participants range in age from their 29 to 71!! ;-) Wouldn't it be a HOOT to be a part of a group like that!?
They'll have a fundraiser (the trip cost them $80,000 & they only had 10 days notice that they had been accepted so had no time to fundraise) at a Ptld Burgerville Fri night which I SURE hope we can attend - there will be members there to share their experiences in DC etc. Mont & Stan especially, you'd enjoy looking up their website at
getalifemb.org
When you ck it out, find the candids slide show which showcases them best. (The video's are too dark.) Clicking on the Margie Boule article in the Oregonian is worth the read too! This may not grab some of you, but yes, count me in as one of the ones who "never got over" their marching band experience! mc

Sounds like fun if you're into tootingblowing, or pounding and marching at the same time. It always seems like such an impossible skill to me.
MC wants to make sure that Mont reads this post.
I think it would be his greatest dream to play the kazoo in the Rose Parade.
LOL!! The kazoo thing crossed my mind too!! ;-) mc
Mont syas that is NOT his greatest dream. He's got plenty of others
