The Next Karate Kid

Right at the beginning, and no face time for this poor euphoniumist. I think these are real musicians, and the conductor that shows up a few seconds looks real and military.



And then we see its little sister, which I think is an Eb horn (this would actually make sense for a marching setup):

Those would be members of The United States Army Band (Pershing's Own). Do you have a picture of the conductor? I can probably recognize and name him if I see the face.

Can you recognize people from the back of their head (and haircut)? Plus these photos may show you other folks you could know.

BTW, the movie is from 1994 if that helps.

Yes, I looked up the movie and saw it was in 1994. I left the band in 1976, almost 20 years earlier. The conductor is a Captain, so I would not know him, he probably wasn't even in the service in 1976, unless he was enlisted first. And most of the band members are E-6, so I wouldn't know any of them (they would be relatively new to the band). I don't recognize the two Master Sergeants.
