Aw man don't cut the band! I have great memories of the military bands that I've heard over the years. First on base as a kid - remote locations means the military jazz band is the only "Pop" music you get to hear live - then as an adult. I really appreciated that my office commander could get the Army jazz group to come over and cheer us up in the post-Katrina first couple of years.
OK, I admit, I'm a band geek.
