>>Or how about the Garfield Cadets; or the Marine Bugle Corp ? I played with Garfield and Madison with our highschool corp (mid/late 80's) as a
laboratory band in Wisconsin. I believe it was a precursor to their National Championships that year. A great experience! Precision and power, just
like programming is suppose to be eh?

Lots of similarities between drum corps and programming. You need precision and attention to detail, but you won't be successful without some creative flair and crowd appeal (users).
