didn't hear any of the musical selections, but I can understand why the 
classical musicians elected to play to a pre-recording. What happened to the 
performance of the other bands?

I was listening very closely.  The rest of the bands sounded great, at least 
the Marine band.  I suspect they also were playing to recorded music.  I 
think the wind chill was something such as 10 Deg. F.

I didn't watch the parade which had a lot of bands.  Did anyone else notice 
the parade bands and how they sounded?

I just can't imagine playing under those conditions.
