size=2>Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet, Banjo, switch the Bass out for a Tuba, and
switch the Drummer over to Washboard. This instrumentation works
great. It is highly mobile and acoustically can be hear throughout the
stands. I suggest a washboard instead of a marching snare because you can
outfit the washboard with a little splash cymbal that can be used as a mini ride
cymbal along with wood blocks and bells and whistles. Rhythmically this
adds a lot to the group. In the 80's we used the this instrumentation for
the California Angels out in Southern Cal. The Cubs band, of which I
played with for a few seasons back in the 90's, in Chicago use a similar
lineup minus the washboard.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

ballpark<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The new ABQ baseball team wants a "strolling" DJ
band. Apparently, the club pres., is affiliated with the Norfolk team
and they have one there at every game.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone involved in that help me with the
logistics of this? Anyone else have any experience along these
lines? We're tpt, tbone, clarinet, banjo, piano, upright bass, and
drums. Obviously, the piano and bass are out. Does the drummer
wear a marching snare?</FONT></DIV>
