Does the band really not do the incredible Arthur Barnes post-JFK assassination version of the National Anthem any more?  If this is true, what a pity.......

They do it, but not well.

The trumpeter usually isn't very good, and is miked and amplified to ear-bleed level. Then when the trumpet drops out, the quiet section that follows is near inaudible by contrast.
