Thanks for the heads up!

Sure would be sweet if "The Commandant's Own" U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle

Corps joined the festivities!!! I'd also recommend the Arizona Academy

Also: any ideas on why the U.S. Army doesn't have it's own Drum and Bugle Corps?

I got the recent Marine Corps CD "On The March" awesome! Would love to get a CD/DVD of this interservice Competition if it become available.

GO ACADEMY(s)!

The Marine D&B does the Texas State Fair eveary year, and it usually coincides with this time frame.

West Point has a cadet pep band and a professional enlisted band. There was talk of them starting a D&B about eight years ago, but nothing ever came of it.

Hope that helps!

The U.S. Army has the the "Hellcats" a small but very good Drum and Bugle (no valves) Corps, I've seen them at West Point during the July 4 and Labor Day weekend weekend (1812 Overture) concerts! They are a small group, about 20, but they are impressive!
