:D ... Forced to be in the marching band in order to join concert and, more importantly, stage ("jazz") band, I played a lot of Sousa in high school. I loved playing the music, and I still can't keep from humming along, drumming on whatever is nearby when I hear a good march. I hated marching around the field in a hat that made me look like a giant q-tip though, not exactly chick magnets... The trips were fun of course... :P
