music: Brassy-so-sassy Marching Bands

This weekend I caught a few, "free" shows, at the a marching band festival in Sommerville, MA. It was very cool at times, and very strange at others. Nevertheless, you cannot go wrong hearing live music. There were bands representing New Orleans, France, Portugal, and Sommervilles very own: Tufts University. It was defiantly something to admire. My ears were open and defiantly taking each sweet sonic sound for pleasure. The band from New Orleans, "The Big 7" blew me away. They were 7 brassy horns that dominated the atmosphere and easily attracted the biggest, formidable crowd. They played big beat things, very southern yet very jazzy. I attached some music to accompany you. Some brass on my itunes list.
