Individual band standouts include Sgt. Vicki Golding, winner of
the Armed Forces Military Idol contest. Golding, who also performs
percussion, is in constant demand to sing the national anthem at local
events that draw thousands of spectators, including the Washington
Redskins’ and Wizards’ games.
Private First Class Anthony Jenkins is considered a top musician
as well, achieving a perfect score at the Army School of Music, and
saxophonist Sgt. First Class Cynthia Marr, who plays almost beyond
comprehension, Klotz said.
Far from letting the 257th rest on its laurels, Klotz will have the
band ready to go for its tour this summer July 1-16. The new music
planned will challenge the band, she said, but they will rise to the
occasion. “The band is going to shine.”
Editor’s note: Chief Klotz was recently featured in an article in Tom
Tom Magazine entitled “The Percussion Eruption.” To read the article,
