TSOP - the Sound of Philadephia (or MFSB Where Are You?)

Did I ever tell you that my niece is looking at colleges right now, as we speak, to major in marching band leader person (whatever the guy/gal with the baton is called)? Yep, it's actually a college major.

I'll show her this and hope that she gets the tuba players to march to something equally cool.
