That was a great story. Thanks for sharing. 04-cheers

On a side note, I have always thought that marching bands was one of the many reason why college football is so much better the NFL. The game itself on the field isn't that different, but the atmosphere and game day experience in college ball beats the hell out the NFL any day.

Here's a video of the great Dr. Johnny Long conducting, you guessed it, The Stars and Stripes Forever. Performing the piece is the 2011 Troy University Symphony Band.
