Someone just sent me this wonderful trailer for The Whole Gritty City, a movie about marching bands in New Orleans. As y'all already know, I love, love, LOVE marching bands. Watch the trailer to see what I mean about just how wonderful these marching bands are.
In my jazz class today our teacher was told us, "to musicians, music is a narcotic," just like what the guy in this trailer says:
"You get all these kids to perform, and you get them to sound a certain way. All of your cares, all of your worries - I don't care if you just had something very tragic in your life - once that band gives you that downbeat, and the music is right, and it's poppin', and its strong - just for that brief two or three minutes - you forget every problem you have, you have no cares in the world."
