Here's a funny video about the Yosemite Marching Band (YMB) posted at YouTube a year or so ago.

"A group of naturalist musicians decide to form a much needed marching band for Yosemite National Park"

An article about YMB is in the Spring 2006 issue of Yosemite, the journal of the Yosemite Association and available online at

“The Yosemite Marching Band Debuts” 68(2):14 by Werner Kemplerer

The article says YMB was created by local Yosemite teachers Hugh Sakols and Paul Amstutz. They bought their uniforms and musical instruments on eBay.
