The Brass

I love the brass section of a marching band. They provide a lot of the power for that genre of music.

Sound the Brass

My favorite brass instrument is the French Horn. Unfortunately, French Horns do not play in marching band. Instead, we get an occasional flugelhorn:
At Attention

All three local High school bands entertained us last weekend at the street festival. Prior to their performances, a big rainstorm swept through, clearing the crowds and ushering in a tiny bit of cool relief from the sultry humidity. Of course, school starts and summer decides to show up!

Masses

Again, we get another "thumbs up" from my son. It must be his mantra for the year.
Another Thumbs Up

  1. It's been such a long time since I've seen a marching band, other than on TV. We don't have many street parades out here...not sure why that is.
