Scott, can you explain the Metallica thing the Marching Band is in. Is it a big deal to be in it? etc

I actually didn't really know anything about it until I saw the posts on facebook yesterday, so thanks for the link and more info.
Looks like the first show for the Marching Leathernecks will be a Metallica show, then the second one will be a Bruno Mars show. Idk if there's a third one planned. I'd also imagine that this deal with Metallica makes getting the rights to the music easier and maybe cheaper, which is always an issue with music for bands.
