Howdy Fred,

Very effective use of "pan" to get the "passing the review stand" feel! We just recently went to the Caro Pumpkin Festival parade (gotta love living in a rural area ), and they had all the high school bands from about a 3 hour drive-time radius in the parade. This reminded me very much of some of the better performing bands, though the "pan out" would have had to cover more space

I can see players in my head for the different parts, and the various drummers going at it. Do you have in mind having a group - high school or college or such - perform this? I've got to know, given your playing history that I do know, if you played in a marching band. Though from some of what I know, it may have been a "groove band".

You've really been getting into different styles, and doing them all quite well. I think you may be having more fun than is allowed - better check that meter ;)

Have a great weekend!
Sherry
