seticatAnyone who says that being a Military bandsman is a safe occupation is sadly mistaken.
"CBS News RAW": A civilian parachutist and three members of a military band were injured in a mishap during opening ceremonies at the 1st Infantry Division review at Fort Riley, Kan.
"Skydiver Plummets Into Army Band Rehearsal"
Final body count:
Three soldier down - one was knocked out and suffered a fractured jaw, one had 'minor injuries' and a fractured ankle and one had a 'minor leg injury'.
Two tubas and a trumpet were also declaired KIA.
And I thought high school and college band and orchestra were brutal...
