The school assemblies that made the biggest imprint on me were the musical ones. The Atlanta Symphony would come once a year and play in our gym. Well, it seemed like the entire symphony, but it may have been half or a third of the actual symphony, but still pretty big nonetheless. The Army, always on the hunt for more bodies to put on the battlefield, would send the Army Band - they were impressive, I must say, but they did not sway my teenage mind to sign up and run off to exotic lands to play trumpet for them. I suspect I would have ended up in some exotic place like Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri; yeah, no thanks.

Not worth it.”

I'm so glad that tank was empty. We could have lost all of Vermont in an instant.
