If memory serves correct, the FTAB has participated in the last 3 parades in which a Republican was inaugurated...1989, 2001 and 2005. I wonder if they get another invite?

If memory serves correctly, the last three repualso had ties to the State.
I don't think one does.

FIFY

But a better question is, given the fact that The Donald is from NY and NY didn't really vote for him, is there any college band from NY that would be willing to accept an invite to the Inaugural parade in support of Trump?

There are participants from every state, can you think of s better representative for ours?

Probably not. There's always a contingent from West Point and I'm sure there will be another from NY Military Academy since Trump went to high school there.

Since you brought it up... Yes. The Kilgore Rangerettes are much more attractive anyway.

Ross Volunteers and FTAB both marched in Reagan's inauguration in 1981.

You're right. It was the t.u. band that went from the state of Texas that year. But as it should be...they marched in behind the R.V's.

Crawford High School Band (Crawford, Texas) is marching in the parade. I think that is an odd coincidence.

Who pays for the various units in the parade. Since this is a Federal Government event, I highly doubt that this trip will be on Uncle Sam. The cost to fly the FTAB to DC could approach 7 figures. Somehow I doubt that this kind of change in a special account with the University.

Also the actual parade gets very little coverage except on CSPAN. The networks show the ceremony but show very little of the parade. Let Texas State have their moment in the sun, or more likely, the snow.

Given the long list of names, I'd be damn near ashamed if the FTAB didn't march.
