TRacer Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the news clip link! I am stuck in Hawaii following surgery and have been staying in touch with my son who is marching trumpet. Currently SCV is rehearsing at San Gabriel High -School and will move to Maranatha High School in Pasadena on the 1st. -- The group is a mix of current A and Cadet corps members & alums from 2013-2016. By way of comparison, the 2004 Rose Parade group was split 50/50 between current (at the time) A & Cadet MMs and FMMs representing all decades (youngest was 12, oldest was 62). -- The group is bigger than 2004. -- When I asked my kid what it was like playing with A-Corps members all he said was, "Dad, those dudes are gods." He is learning so much! -- They will lead off the parade, march the route, then hustle back to do the closing ceremonies. EDITS: -- Just watched the clip -- great closeup of Tim's (86-87 SCV DM) son! -- Here is a photo my son sent me this morning: Edited December 30, 2016 by TRacer 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRacer Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 That is being worn where the star or shield normally goes. I think they're larger so they show up at a distance (or on TV) better. My son sent me a pic of his red tunic with the RP emblem pinned on and you're right; it looks big. Side note: my kid commented they were fitting unis up to the last minute...getting A-corps uniforms to fit smaller/skinnier Cadet corps MMs presented challenges because the young kids don't march A corps in this day and age. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I got to hear it but the video didn't play. Sounded like a great piece though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
