Strike up the band!

I can't wait to see what Hugh Jackman, Baz, and the new producers of the Oscars have cooked up. Carpetbagger reports that the Oscars opening number will have a marching band:

From the looks of it, the Oscars are going to be more fun than the Rose Parade. Actually, they may look a little like the Rose Parade. One industry hand, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect relations with the Academy, just wandered by the Kodak Theater and found the University of Southern California marching band lining up for show credentials. The kids had their marching band T-shirts, headdresses, the works. “I’m part of the show’s opening number,” one bubbled.

Most details of the show have been under wraps. But the mighty Trojans appear to be somehow wrapped up in it. The band sure does like awards shows; it recently performed at the Grammys, backing up Radiohead in its rendition of “15 Step.”
