Cindy Monroe has been around music for decades. Fifty years, she figures.
"But I've never been in a marching band, and it always looks like so much fun," she said.
So she showed up to play cymbals with the National Cherry Festival Marching Band. That's it. No audition, just a conversation with the director.
"I did give him an out, too," Monroe said. "I said, ‘If I come and I try it and you think no, this is just never going to work, you can send me home and I can try again another year.’"
But so far, so good.
