I concluded The U$C Band playing music from Game of Thrones by writing "the UCLA Band does cool stuff, too. When I finish my series about my years in the Bruin Band, I might post those. Stay tuned." I'm not waiting, for today at Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I posted The UCLA Marching Band at the 1969 Oscars for Marching Music Day. Here it is.

Happy Marching Music Day! Since the Academy Awards are also tonight, I've decided to make today's theme marching music at the Academy Awards. To that end, here is my the marching band of my undergraduate alma mater in Ingrid Bergman, Sidney Poitier and the UCLA Marching Band: 1969 Oscars.

Watch on YouTube

Ingrid Bergman, Sidney Poitier, Paula Kelly and the UCLA Marching Band offer their own interpretations of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" at the 41st Academy Awards in 1969.

I watched that as a nine-year-old and was enthralled. I suppose it was one of the reasons why I marched in the UCLA Band beginning eight years later.

By the way, the power's back on but the Internet is down.  Because of that, I may not post last month's top posts at Crazy Eddie's Motie News until Tuesday.  Stay tuned.
