End of the Marching Season

We are nearing the end of the Marching Season. Music can arouse, or more rarely calm, spirits. This is something to which we give very little thought in the so-called developed world. I suspect our use of music excites some spirits at the expense of others. Marching bands usually play what excites territorial spirits. Pop music concentrates on the spirits connected with romantic love or their more earthy counterparts. Not exactly a spirit balance, I suggest.
