And Drums Along The Mohawk was even the topic of one question on "Jeopardy" back in 1998.

The category was "When in Rome", or something similar, and the question (or answer) was ........

"An annual drum and bugle corps contest held in Rome, NY is named for this river."

(Nobody got it right.)

Talk about an esoteric quesiton. Way to go Jeopardy... for even knowing about it.

Seeing pics on facebook of OC's brassline in a front yard is priceless. People on lawn chairs. Busses and trucks taking over a narrow street. Gotta love it.
