I just saw that clip on "the site that shall not be named" and you're correct. Those are the old uniforms. The person carrying the American flag is wearing one of the original guard uniforms. That's definitely a nice gesture!

90.575!!!!! YES!!!!!

11 Minutes??

Does anyone know what the Crossmen scored?

Yup!

I think the standings should be: 8 Carolina Crown 6 Madison Scouts 10 Phantom Regiment 7 Santa Clara Vanguard 18 Troopers Correct me if I'm wrong.

10 Carolina Crown 6 Madison Scouts - 10 Phantom Regiment - 8 Santa Clara Vanguard 18 Troopers +

G only...the first three years on piston/rotor and the last three on two valve. (man, I'm old!)

14- Blue Stars+ 20 - Carolina Crown 21 - Madison Scouts - 22 - Phantom Regiment - 20 - Santa Clara Vanguard 23 - Troopers

They have the current highest point total (and have for some time). It makes sense to try to take them down to level out the field a bit. He's just using good strategy. (either that or he just doesn't like Madison )

At least they aren't doing all of this stuff (sorry, I couldn't resist)

12 - Bluecoats 20 - Blue Stars + 22 - Carolina Crown 00 - Crossmen - 29 - Madison Scouts - 27 - Phantom Regiment 31 - Santa Clara Vanguard 28 - Troopers Someone had to do it.

That would be kind of cool

COOL!! I was stationed with the SHAPE International band for six years as a US Army Trombonist. I'd go back there tomorrow if they let me!! Small world.

I'm going to switch to English...this is hurting my brain!! I lived in the southern part of Belgium and never learned to speak Flemish; only French. I was lucky that most of the Northern Belgians spoke English

Belgien war großartig! Vor allem die Biere! (sorry for the foreign languages folks. See what I started?)

Sorry, mein Deutsch ist nicht mehr allzu gut. Ich lebte sechs Jahre in Belgien und sprach nicht sehr oft.

Non, vous n'êtes pas parler français, toutefois, le Blue Star conception du spectacle est à des années lumières d'avance sur ceux d'autres organisations. Sorry, I couldn't resist

This is the last meeting of all the world class corps before Bluemington. (the August 4th shows that is)

25 - Blue Stars + 21 - Bluecoats 29 - Carolina Crown 25 - Crossmen 29 - Madison Scouts - 34 - Phantom Regiment - 30 - Santa Clara Vanguard 30 - Troopers

I believe that was the Troopers (according to Corpsreps anyways).

For those that may be interested (if you're not, please ignore ), I am the director of the Fanfare Trumpets at the US Army TRADOC Band. Those trumpets come in the keys of Eb Soprano, Bb Melody, Bb Tenor (reads like a baritone) and either G or Bb Bass. In the picture of Regiment they are playing the Bb Melody horns. When you put all of the horns together they produce a very "strident" sound that gets everyone's attention! I believe that Yamaha makes the Bb Melodies that are available on WWBW. The Army Bands usually use horns made by Besson, Boosey & Hawkes, or better yet, Kanstul from the US and Smith-Watkins from the UK. The last two brands are by far the better horns, but they are still a challange to play in tune.
