@highchops81 i know its not really colbert it just looks like him in that shot a little bit

[highchops81]

@wooooosaw That's actually SGM Craig Fraedrich, he's been with the Blues a long time.

@canosgmk Yes, all service members for the Premier bands have to go through basic training for their respective services, except for members of The President's Own Marine Band, but they still have to maintain weight standards for the Marine's. In fact, all of the service band members hold other duties, that are not related to music within their respective bands. Navy Band Trumpet player here.

@canosgmk The only "Special" band that does not go to basic training is the President's Own Marine Band in Washington DC. All the rest attend basic training and are full time in their service.

little known fact: stephen colbert is a proficient jazz trumpet player. he shows off his talents with the army blues at 2:17 in this video

@scottfg that 'girl' lead trumpeter can be argued to be better or the same as Dave Detwiler. They are Monster Players!!!

[canosgmk]

@steelydad Army Blues and other 'special' bands doesn't have a requirement to attend basic training. They also join the service as a E-6 (staff sergeant, Non-commision officer). They are enlisted soldiers that serve a term by contract.

[steelydad]

These guys are excellent. Do they go through basic training like everyone else? What officer grade are they. Are they enlisted or what.

Its funny how they are all playing at attention standing up and sitting down. At ease guys. Its music.
