Did you march with a sousa in Sydney?!

I just wondered if there were any readers of TubeNet who may have been involved in the marching band segment of the Opening Ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games.

If so, tell us about your experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly.

I thought the whole ceremony, inclucing the marching bands, was stunning*, ...marred only by Channel 7 Australia's decision to slip in a commercial break towards the end of the marcdhing bands segment. I quickly switched on the radio to hear the band's two more numbers during the ad break. Brickbats to Ch 7.

* Some other elements would no doubt need some explanation/translation to any non-Australian viewers.
