This has got to be a joke, right? Are you telling me that not only did they find a half dozen boys from a high school to actually play intramural cymbals, but that they got them to also wear THOSE outfits while doing it?<br /> No way, Jose!

<P>....although much of American High School curriculum has been ravaged and raped...one thing that has fervently hung in there is instrumental band programs. American Football/College and many other sports use these 'bush leaguers" for halftime entertainment.</P> <P>That video is just one tiny part of the insane amount of choreography that goes into the maneuvers. The high school bands travel all over the place to compete. If fact, there is an entire sub culture of support groups and parent groups that raise money to encourage and subsidize this stuff.</P> <P>The Rose Parade and FOOTBALL(westpondian style) would not be what it is without it. </P> <P>Some country's get excited about men in skirts blowing bags though. Go figure.</P>
