I really knew the answer already because I 'have' played in marching bands in my youth. What I was trying to say, in many of these messages today, is that it also relates to style in programming. The end product is what is important in both cases. In drumming, it's the sound; in programming, it's the end product's performance. There are many different ways to accomplish both tasks. Cheers to all and "Wish I were there" to the guys at the conference.
