I was the announcer for the marching band for two years in high school and four years in college.
The college band was great. I was a disc jockey at a local small town rock station at the time. The band played very comtemporary rock music (which I helped the band director pick), and the director used to "fade" the band during down fields like I would fade a song on the air and talk over it.
The drum major and I would take part of a Thursday or Friday practice and work out where he would start his whistles so there would be no "dead air" between the end of my announcement and the beginning of the next song.
Great production!
This past Homecoming I was MC for an Alumni Band dinner and was given an award for being instrumental (no pun intended, since I can't play any instrument) in the "new" band, and continued support of it over the past thirty-five years.
One of the very coolest awards I've ever received.
