What I find interesting is that the "drum major" trumpet player in front manages not to be in rhythm or time at all when he signals them to halt at the end. (well, OK, he IS a trumpet player, but... )
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

What about the Navy Band?

Post by Mark N. »

This makes me wonder if the Italian Navy Band counters this by performing in the sea while doing the back stroke. Wouldn't that be impressive in the Anacostia river?! (If you could get around all the McDonald wrappers and MD 20/20 bottles!)

We run into these guys all over Europe and yes, it's a, hum...a sight to behold. And they do sound just as bad standing still. We ran across their afternoon gazebo concert and they played the same music as if they were running in circles. During the parade section of the week, we could hear them blocks away and the crowds just went nuts. They were running circles in the narrow streets!

The statement that all their instuments are in Eb is not entirely true. Most are but there was one unlucky tuba player that was playing an three-valve F and he had to work a bit harder to "keep up" musically. :roll:
