They still ahve marching kazoo bands--there's one in Wednesbury (W Mids). Great for kids who want to be musical but don't have the inclination to work at it. Great for arrangers too: just teach 'em the tune, none of this long-haired harmony or counterpoint stuff. The only thing is, you have to remember to chop off the last note of every line really short--never hold a note. It's easy for the kids, 'cos they've only got little lungs anyway.
