10 Comments on You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch | The U.S. Army Band
US military bands are just the best🎖🎖🎖
Loved this! What a voice–
We saw the Air Force Academy band a few years ago. Mostly, they were wearing mess dress uniforms with the conductor wearing full formal tails uniform.
They then broke into a group doing a tribute to Glenn Miller where they were wearing WWII Army Air Corps uniforms. One of the white Sargent s got out his handkerchief and trumpet 🎺 and did a spot on Louis Sachmo Armstrong.
The US Military is the single largest employer of full time professional musicians in the country. Support the military, support the arts!
I was an Army recruiter in the San Francisco are 40+ years ago. You wouldn’t believe the screen process, audition tapes, and live auditions these folks go through. I put a cello player in the Presidio band. I tried talking him into airborne infantry (11B2P) in the 82nd……no dice.
Oh well, helped me get my quota for the month.
I had a friend (seems like l have many that recently have passed away). He was the head of The navy’s 7th fleet band based in Naples Italy. Mark was a great trumpet player and a great singer. He may ride a Brit chick
That I just adore. I used to tease him between songs, hollering “DEVO”.
We had a great interaction.
Man. The great people we’ve lost this year.
I’ve got a heavy heart.
