So, I’ve been told that Army is only taking prior service for SF and Linguistics by a regular recruiter. What is the validity behind that for bands?

Check with one of the band liaisons. They can dispel any myths...

I have a sixteenth note run in measures 3 and 7 in the dogfight. I only hear recordings with a quarter note instead. Which one should I record?

Any winner selected?

Congratulations, Zach!!!

Zach is a terrific tubist and person. He's a 2nd-year master's student at Rice, and a 2014 graduate of Baylor University. (Sic 'em, Bears!)
