John Philip Sousa would have been very proud of The Ohio State University Marching Band's performance of The Stars and Stripes Forever at the end of the third video I posted...
Wow, he sure would have. I just watched it. Amazing. I even felt a stirring of patriotism, which I must say has not been on the radar all this year. What a fantastic performance.
Todd, that is so cool that your son played drums. Seems like one of the most fun instruments to play in a marching band.
Jeffrey also was part of his school's steel drum band. Now
that was fun, so casual and carefree. Unfortunately I do not have a video of the school's band. He also did Wind Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble. I'd be hard pressed to name a favorite among marching band, jazz ensemble, and steel drum. They were all fun.
