November 5Nov 5 Damn. Glad a bunch of gear survived and nobody was hurt and they still got to perform.
November 5Nov 5 Author Yeah I’m glad everyone is ok, I hope everything is well insured, it must be. Feel bad for all the kids with strads and selmers and whatever else who are going to have to head to heart of Texas and slum it on a rental for a bit.

November 5Nov 5 Marching band adjacent: out here in SoCal, you might have heard something about us having a lot of mexicans. Well, I can confirm that it's true. Anyway, a decade or so ago, "Banda" music was all the rage in the Latino community. From what I understand, it's very tuba-driven. In fact, it was said that a good Banda Tuba player could make a grand on a Friday or Saturday night playing somewhere. Meanwhile, there was a rash of break-ins at socal schools, and the Tubas went missing in every case. I always imagined that the LAPD, if they wanted to actually solve crimes, could just put detectives on bikes, cruising around the barrio, listening for the "honk honk honk honk" of a shitty tuba player.
