Oh OK, point taken.  Forgot about that group.  That's just all-out dedicated Uke.  I was more thinking of it being forced into the mix on every third band you've never heard of before.

It's the 95% rule. 95% of anything (certainly not limited to uke bands) sucks.

When I was in high school marching bad I was pulled off the trombone I always played and was assigned to play the marching xylophone, because I was the only one who both knew the keyboard and was sturdy enough to actually carry the damn thing in a parade.

I learned two things:
1. Marching xylophones get really farking heavy when you've marched a 1-1/2 mile parade on a hot day in full uniform
2. Nobody respects the xylophone.

Xylophones are, and have been of course, the preferred instrument of skeletons for centuries, owing mostly to the serendipitous fact of the dearly departed's rib cage being acoustically sound and fit for this purpose, and also legbones being fine mallets. Skeletons playing xylophones are quite common and may still be heard widely today in cemeteries and other creepy places around the world.

The theremin has also been used in marching bands (Drum Corps to be precise).

I just can't get over how amazingly well these kids rock their xylophones- i want to add that track to my tour music...

Teddy Brown will impress you. Especially since he just uses the 2 sticks, then takes a break for a tenor sax solo.
