Cold-weather music

Thursday, January 22, 2009

So it comes to notice that the wonderful quartet performing at the Inauguration was effectively lip-syncing due to the cold weather.

As anyone who has been in a marching band can appreciate, this is quite understandable.

However, likely the best of all the bands did not:

The Marine Band and choruses, which performed throughout the ceremony, did not use a recording, she [Ms. Florman] said.

Now that is a bunch of serious and seriously good musicians.
