I have always wondered why in the 21 century the military still has bands I can understand one service band but multiple bands are a waste of money. In a time when we are cutting capability we need to look at bands. The people could be better used in other career fields. Those that spend 20 years as a band member are drawing the same benefits that a combat veterans receive. These are probably some of the best paid musicians in the US. Who attends their shows other than the leadership that is required to attend Not many. Finally how much do we spend on transportation for bands and Tops in Blue If we are going to cut lets look at it all to include return in investment
