Minnesota Marching Band Playing Obama’s Inauguration

Via the AP ^[1], The Fergus Falls High School ^[2] marching band has been selected to perform in Barack Obama’s inauguration next month.

They’ll be playing “Yankee Doodle” and rumor has it they sing part of it (marching bands sing?). Physical audience is expected to be 3-4 million — plus TV audiences will be massive — so I hope those clarinet players have been practicing their left, right, left for a world stage.
