Little did I know then that I was setting myself up for the greatest summer of my life. I was going to play in the best military band in Canada. The band was 128 members members strong but only the top 65 make the senior band. As a member of that band, I travelled all over B.C. I recorded recorded a tape in Mushroom Studios, in Vancouver. This is the same studio the Top Gun soundtrack was recorded. recorded. I participated in many Ceremonies of the Flag but that was nothing compared to the Esquimau Tattoo. The H.M.C.S. Quadra Senior band, along with 25 other bands and acts, put on show. We were the only exhibit that received a standing ovation and a salute salute from the Commanding Officer. We performed for more than 1000 people that night and the crowd's appreciation was worth all the hard work. We practised eight hours a day every day but it all paid off in the end. I had the greatest two months of my life. I met more friends than I can count and if I get the chance, you can guess where I'll be next summer.
