Thanks! Some great answers to the query on Watrous. Interesting to hear that there was such overlap between the jazz rock groups, the likes of Maynard Ferguson and the jazz education crowd. 

Horns, and horn players who had/saw a chance to be more than band nerds 

Possibly.

And quiet as it's been kept...the were a few people who were stealthily writing marching band arrangements of a few of the "new" big band covers of the hits of the day. But this wasn't anything new, really. Our marching band had Maynard's "Eli's Coming" but we also had a legacy chart if Quincy's Basie chart of "I Can't Stop Loving You".

We're playing this shit at football games and everybody's grooving along with it, rednecks, Baptists, Methodists, Black Folks, everybody.

Small town Texas Friday night football in the first days of full integration. Nothing like it, at least not then. And especially in the band hall. EVERYBODY brought their records in. 

Horns!

What about Lutherans, man? It don't mean doodly unless you can get those Lutherans grooving! Beer, Bach and the bible, in that order.

We were a Lutheran family, the only one in Gladewater. We went to church in (and played football against) Kilgore.
