    Are there no female musicians worthy of being selected for the All-American College Band? Are they not good enough, or just not "American" enough?

    I've seen the All-American College Band many times at Disneyland and there have always been women musicians playing with them.

    There are two this year, both on horns. One is a returning player from last year.

    Ummmm, wow. OK.



    Really just a peripheral mention, but since baby duck season was mentioned in the update, the season seems to be either a lot longer this year or it has been pushed back. We were surprised to see quite a number of baby ducks on the Rivers of America and in one section of DCA on Sunday. It seems a lot later than when we normally expect to see them, and it wasn't just one or two isolated groups, like we've sometimes seen. There were a plethora of them.
    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

    Global warming?

    I hope that higher fence doesn't interfere with baby duck viewing!

    I've seen many females over the past few years. I also know the auditions are quite difficult. A few years back there were over several hundred applicants for each slot.

    I didn't see any females in the pictures AVP had posted, so I was kind of wondering the same thing, too. Clearly it was just who was visible in the angle she had, but you don't know that unless you ask.

    I completely agree with your assessment of how the red carpet event went at DCA, but as a paper collector I'd like to bring up one very minor quibble. When Disneyland hosted the "Pirates" movie premieres, each of the premiere days had a souvenir guide map available to guests just for that day. There was no similar guide map for the Lone Ranger premiere. Granted, I could do without another paper item to collect, but several people I talked to were also a little disappointed that there wasn't a map available.

    That's Laura, the returning mellophone player I mentioned.

    These are of the 2012 band, not the 2013 group.

    There are 2 girls this year, both mellophone/French horn. There were 5 last year, both mellophone, 2 sax & 1 trombone. Tuesday, 6/25 was the first official day of the full schedule. There were 8 guys from the 2012 band watching, which added some more energy & a little more ribbing on Dr. Ron. There are now 2 jazz sets each day, 1:50 at DCA & 3:25 at the Big Thunder Ranch. The 5:05 Castle show now starts down Main Street, I'm thinking they enter from the Fist Aid backstage door (playing Down On The Bayou) Its a quick turn around for the Flag Retreat then onto Main St. Station for the last set. (it would appear the pre-parade set from last year has been cut)

    the Castle set features new music including the Monsters Inc. song and a different movie medley. I'd like to thank Adrienne for being the only one to have the right information.
    No one at the DCA info desk had the 1:50 set listed on their schedules. I had someone from the Entertainment Dept. call and confirm, so that I didn't waste any time trying to find
    where they were supposed to be.

    There is a small number of fans that come out to watch, but they also drew a pretty big crowd for the R&B set. There is one older gentleman who has made sure that 4 of the park benches that were used for the flag retreat re-positioned towards the band.
