      It seemed really dreary to me from the outside. They'd practice with the same grueling military schedule to play the same three songs at that day's retirement ceremonies. Sat in a parking lot for three hours before the next one, audience doesn't care about their elevator music, functionally it's just a left foot-right foot marching cadence for everyone in uniform. Their dress uniforms had to be in perfect condition, probably to a higher standard than a top-tier symphony, despite spending all day driving between parking lots. Just one big stupid fuck-fuck game.

        Well, at least they are making at $60,000 at a minimum.

        It's funny to think they could give flawless performance after flawless performance of their elevator music and nobody gives a shit. But if there's a tiny stain that somehow formed on the back of their white trousers - they could get hell.
