Interesting that they're making alto horns as well. When was the last time one of those was on the field? I want to say early '90s.

I was expecting some sort of announcement for women to be able to march with the Scouts on April 1st. If people fell for the airplane, they'd fall for that

I think they call them stewardesses named Carmen and Dorothy. :-p

As well as French Horns, or have they been made for years by various manufacturers?

I should do what all the marchers do today, start a gofundme.

Might want to see how the horn plays first. There's a reason corps and other groups aren't jumping at the chance to use these horns yet...

I understand.

That said, I think Vance needs to have someone come in and help with the writing portion of the website. Polishing it up would be a good thing.

Yeah, like corporate sponsorships. You can't beat free.

I can say that the price thing was not the ultimate deciding factor.

Also, free? Check your facts.

Yeah not free. Most groups buy a full set of horns and then sell them back ever year. There are transactions of money. (Though if you and I tried to sell back a horn only used for one summer we'd get a lot less for it)
