Nice article in the WSJ this morning on a new cd from Smithsonian Folkways on New Orleans Brass Bands.

I like the way the column begins: "For even casual tourists, nothing signifies New Orleans like the sound of an approaching sousaphone (the tuba’s more portable cousin". Enjoy.

Could the trombone be a Conn 6H?

What does the word before Marshal say?

Reading more about these NO brass bands suggests the title of Grand Marshal, only there is no way that I can see a capital G here.
