Playing for the President and, um, C-SPAN....

Along with numerous military and other bands, the Lesbian/Gay Band Association will be playing in the inaugural parade next Monday.
Since it's the 2nd time around for Messers Obama and Biden, the networks are going to cut away before my band plays. C-SPAN is carrying the whole thing, so fret not.
We'll have nine sousaphone players - two from San Francisco and the others from all over the country for a band of 215.
I'm tempted to get some ring-wraith themed garb for we mighty nine, but I'm blowing a horn's worth of dough to make the trip as it is....
Knowing you'll all be watching and listening, I'll try extra-hard to play at least a few notes in tune.
