This one time, on a band trip, I walked into a Sony store with a couple of my fellow band members. There were a bunch of big screen TVs playing Lord of the Rings, and a couple playing some movie with a marching band scene. Guess which one we all focused on.
This past weekend I went on a band trip. We'd been asked to be the house band for a veteran's group convention. We did 4 gigs in three days, but still managed to have a lot of fun. Not that playing isn't fun, but unload the bus, set up the gear, play, pack up the gear, load up the bus, gets old fast. Especially the unload and load part. We did a concert at a legion, a military style parade (no clowns or floats), and a dinner/dance. We played a bunch of 40's type music for the dance and it was cool to have people actually get up and dance. It's the trips like these that help us all get to be better friends, even though what happens on band trips stays on band trips.
