100%... they are paid to play, they should play, it's not a damn union jobNo, they would exist anyway. So the band that plays at boot camp graduation won’t be able to play for the family dinner the night before. That’s just stupid.
I would argue that today, the band not playing for the parents dinner is likely a special band and not the one playing for the graduation.
The existence of two or perhaps even five bands represent bureaucratic band creep.
