I don't know. Ask their horn staff. I thought you would be commenting on shako and plume angles sometimes even forgotten when one wears fakos or aussies.

No, Harrison NY is in Westchester county NY ( suburb of NYC) and is a pretty wealthy enclave. The band director at this school marched Bush in the early 2000's and is involved with the Brassmen parade corps now. They have a REALLY great music program at this school, great jazz band, concert band and choirs but they don't compete on a regular basis or not at all. Not all great music programs are dependent on holding a baritone properly or playing a quad lick clean. They have a large band, supported well by the parents and the school but it's just a small part of a really great music program. The great composer Steve Melillo taught at this school in the early 80's and today's band director was a student of his. These kids get a great education! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
