Well?, how did it go???

When I was in the Army (maaaaaany moons ago ), I had a CO in Basic Training who was a grad of the Cornell Marching Band ... he saw in my file that I play a kb (accordion at that time) and 'volunteered' me to play glockenspiel in a marching band he was organizing ... The first week we had 6 guys ... by the third week we had 16 !!! ... a number of the guys were jazz fans, and along with the traditional Marches, our company's marching theme was "Jumpin with Symphony Sid" ... marching band was a BLAST and saved me from a lot of KP and guard duty ...
