Activision Reports Sluggish Sales For Sousaphone Hero:

“In the career mode, you can rise from playing in park gazebos for church picnics to performing in the halftime show of the Harvard-Yale game,” Hendleman said. “If you score enough points, you can unlock the ultimate level: playing in the John Philip Sousa–led Marine Band at Grover Cleveland’s inauguration.”

“And if you like multiplayer gaming, you’re in luck,” Hendleman continued. “In Sousaphone Hero‘s cooperative marching-band mode, as many as 135 of your friends can play simultaneously.”

If you don’t get the joke, perhaps you need to buy Guitar Hero 2 (for Xbox 360 or Playstation 2).

Nintendo Wii users have to wait a few months for Guitar Hero 3 to come out.

Oh, speaking of gazebos, old-school, paper-and-pencil gamers may enjoy the story of Eric and the Gazebo.
