For the first time in nearly 100 years, when the horses and their riders canter into the Will Rogers Memorial Center on Jan. 13 for the beginning of the 2017 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, there will be no live orchestra to greet them.

Quote

"(It's) very surreal right now to know that come January, people will be paying their ticket price, many in anticipation of hearing the traditional old marches, gallops, fanfares and overtures played by a live 20-piece orchestra, but instead will now be hearing a laptop," wrote Stitzel's son Rich, who played drums in the band, in a Facebook post. "It was the last live rodeo band in the world, and there was a lot of pride in the Fort for that tradition."
