Marching band formed and hired to continuously patrol a
municipality.
Example: New York City would have at least 10 separate
Municipal Marching Bands
They would march a circuit of 10 or 20 square blocks.
Their job would be to march and play happy music all day
long every business day.
My
thinking is that a marching band could really have an
effect on morale in a city-scape, cheer people up with
high
energy music especially during economically difficult
times.
This would also create some jobs for artists, a
profession
that could always use more opportunity.

I can already sense the ability to throw a brick twice the
normal distance. |

I think this can only be approved of if you agree to
use the Band of the Coldstream Guards, so that the
job is done properly. All that poncing around with
pom-poms is merely irritating. |

I could see some serious gang-related rivalries
cropping up between bands, and never mind the
traffic jams. |

We're trying to, but you keep bringing them up. |

And we'll have inter-burrough and inter-city marching band competitions judged by Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul with the winner getting bragging rights and fresh paving on 100 city blocks of their choosing. Right? |

This has the same appeal as having that clown from It pop up beside the bed when I'm drifting off. |

I remember when Sunday mornings used to be regularly interrupted by the sound of marching bands. With the volume & speed of traffic on roads these days, they'd be mown down before the first bar of 'When the Saints Come Marching In" had finished echoing 'round the neighbourhood. + |
