Editor's note: it doesn't get more local than high school marching band. Well, on an advanced amateur level that is. Not that I would know anything of amateurism! My professional feeling here is that one marching band is pretty much the same as the next. If you were heavy into marching bands then the sentiment might be by degrees and not generalities. Luckily for me I don't care. Chiiiing!

I'm actually on this album! I played trumpet, class of 1974. It was recorded in 1973. Patterned after the Queen's coldstream Guard, the Grenadiers continue to perform throughout the world, not just the U.S. Actually, it was pretty cool.
Awesome. Did they put out other albums as well?
Also, go ahead and dish on the squad if you feel like it!
Would love to hear this! But no links.
