The Founding Fathers tried to design a system...
I was remembering marching bands of the past. Since I do not live in town I shouldn’t make statements that I cannot verify, but I am pretty sure that folks living in the vicinity of the high school and middle school today do not get to see the band and baton twirlers practicing.

(Each individual player also got a medal to take home. That guitar will go in the trophy case at their rink.) We went ea...
