Soloist to the rescue, Mike.
A marching band has woodwinds, a drum and bugle corps does not. No clarinets, saxaphones or flutes (sorry Wally)
We are not geeks, and we understand if you have no interest in the activity.
I would, however, encourage you to at least give it a try. Nothing like 60 brass players belting out at top volume in your face!
Drink of choice for Bunker Hill Day is, indeed, beer straight out of the can or bottle. Sam Adams is preferred. Not sure why Dorchester is called "Dot". Never figured out the derivation of Queens in Manhattan, either

We can hear you talking - but all we hear is ...
blah blaah blah blaah Bank Geek Speak blah blaah blah
Then something about me - I liked that part.
blaah Band Geek Speak blah blaah blah blaah Band Geek Speak
Band Geek Speak blah blaah blah blaah blah blaah blah blaah.

Ah, but the definitions say:

a. a group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type: rock band; calypso band; mariachi band.
b. a musical group, usually employing brass, percussion, and often woodwind instruments, that plays esp. for marching or open-air performances.


Notice that in "b." it says "often woodwind instruments". Not that they are a requirement.

So, if a drum corps has brass and percussion, it is by definition, a BAND.

A specialized kind of band perhaps, but a band nonetheless.

Now I get it!

The "band is a bad word" thing is all just egotistical nonsense because they think they're better than the other marching bands. When they're really just a marching band without woodwinds.

Really, they should just learn to play nicely together, don't you think.
