I left that year, sad I was not able to give the baritones more of my wisdom. I used to walk about a mile just to march all day and play baritone, so I was pretty dang dedicated, and I agree, lack of experience killed the formation. For want of a nail, the shoe was lost For want of the shoe, the horse was lost For want of the horse, the rider was lost For want of a rider, the battle was lost For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost All for the want of a nail Let that sink in...wish I was there to help :(
