I watched that yesterday. Man! did it ever take me back to My Band Director days!

Really. The director would have made a great drill sergeant. What a voice!

Indeed! I used one of those amplifying megaphones.

Leave it to an HBCU band to supply all my funky needs.

But what's up with the white tuba player?

What, you never saw a white tuba?

June -- It's all in the diaphram. Like singing.

It really works, too, if you learn how to project like one (a drill sgt). Once a game warden pulled a pistol on one of my dogs. I barked at him in my best drill sgt voice to holster his weapon and he did. In VT, they're actually more powerful than police.

I know... I'm a singer too. but it was SO much easier to use the megaphone.

My band was pretty good with the "funky needs," too..... we didn't call it that back then, tho.
