Liberty Band alumnus here!
Man! I don't remember ever being that young. Standout memory-waiting all freakin' day on Governor's Island for dress rehearsal then finally getting to play Stars & Stripes........ at 1:00 in the morning. The skys opened up and a torrential downpour of biblical proportions ensues. Stage crew and staff bolts but the band plays on like the troopers we were. Anybody got a hanky, cause I'm gettin' misty over hear.
Hail to the Spirit of Liberty! An appropriate closing for my post and also the name of a great, yet rarely performed Sousa march.
Regards,
Kevin Miller
