When Queen Rlizabeth address Great Britain on Xmas day - the cameras panned through the royal cavalry. I marveled at the trooper/musician in his saddle sporting a full sized tuba! Attention must be paid for this valiant soldier has not an easy task! This mounted orchestra member indeed harbors immense determination. I am momentarily reminded of a cello playing Woody Allen in a marching band - complete with mobile chair he drags along with him! He also is determined to play his part as he sctively marches through the streets! I have served in a mounted guard and during a parade for Labor Day, Veterans Day , Thanksgiving Day J am most grateful Ionly needed to hold tight the reins!
