And if they played on the DCL-
It'd be ..."The Band on the Boat!"

 

[OrlandoMike]

Now don't be jealous Wally, maybe someday, when the Boston kids learn how to behave, perhaps they will be invited back......

"In January of 1965 I marched with the Boston Crusaders at the Lyndon Johnson parade. It was cold but not too bad. Highlilght as I remember was the University of Texas Band foolishly startinig a snowball fight with us at the Andrews AFB assembly area. Chased away in a hail of ice balls and suicide charges the Texas Band was quickly moved away from the crazies in the Red & Black uniforms with Army MP's getting involved."
