I remember the baritone from my own band days! I didn't do marching band, though -- that's a foreign concept to me. I played flute and lived for the alternate days when the woodwinds could rehearse with the full orchestra. My band conductor was kind of sucky.
I did decide not to go, but only because of dire circumstances... I just posted the full story on my LJ but basically I had to go to the ER in an ambulance last night. We got home really late and I was still in pretty bad shape, so it seemed like asking for trouble to go to the Mall. But I'm really sad we missed out. It was still very crazy indeed around here -- we could hear the cheering and the cannons, and when the Inauguration was over there were tons of people making their exodus on my street. I heard some fireworks a little while ago, too. :)
