Saw this add on Portland Oregon Craigslist:
Hello! I am creating a band of people playing music on stilts, and I am looking for some more quirky creatives to join the group. We play primarily Balkan, Klezmer, and folk-ish tunes, with an emphasis on traditional instruments. Thus far we have a wonderful violin player and a second violin, an accordion player, a vocalist, and a clarinetist. I am looking for brass - trumpet, trombone, dare I say tuba?, more reeds - clarinet, saxophone, and more percussion (and others like Jew's Harp, banjo, or your very own creation). We have a tupan (large Balkan bass drum) but no player, and would welcome a snare and other traditional drums (djembe, doumbek). NO STILT EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! We can teach you! Intermediate to advanced musicianship is needed though, as we can't teach you to play your instrument. I am looking for people committed to a weekly practice, who want to have fun, and inspire awe and wonder in our audience! Street performance is how we'll do it, and we haven't a desire for egos who want to be on a stage. Oh! And I am also seeking a keyboard/electronic person who knows how to create some electronic bass and beats to spice dis stuff up (you don't need to be on stilts).

Do you think this will be the next "new" twist for state marching contest?

I can see it now: Some director will be asking "how to" questions on the Yellow Board. Too funny!

Really. I hope no one post the on the old YB. God help us if this should ever find its way into some marching band director's drill plan.
