I have a lot of friends who group up in DC in the late 60's early 70's and they all talk about the fabulous neighborhood bands that we used to have. Every rec center, elementary school, middle and jr high to high school had a band! It even broke down into jazz bands at the rec center, marching bands at schools, etc. and everyone pretty much played in one or both. And in school they learned music theory, performance, everything. Seeing your terrific photos made me wish we could get music back in every school in the city.
