They've always spoken highly of you. (with apologies to mrydel) If the Mustang Band played your theme song - the only tune that the aTm band has memorized within the past 20 years! - would you feel differently?

I believe there's only ONE piccolo player in the Mustang Band and she's the granddaughter of the late Mustang Band assistant director Jack Rohr. Slapping her would NOT be a good idea...her father's a pretty tough guy (and now an honorary Mustang Band member!) and her uncle is a retired Marine lieutenant colonel with two Iraq tours under his belt.

There's more than one piccolo player in the band...probably at least 3. I'm not sure, I lost count.

It's great that we're all talking about an instrument that brings nothing to our halftime performances. I'll say it again, our band is crappy and needs to get it together. But at least I faith they will.
Take it easy on the band. Yes, the Fiddler on the Roof was not their best skit, but the band is the only portion of the students that we can count on for regular attendance. I look forward to watching the band at the rest of the games!!!
