It is another GORGEOUS day here at Marina Auto Stadium and we are just minutes away from step-off of the first corps for this morning's festivities.

kevingamin Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Joey Pero just played the U.S. national anthem. Not sure why he didn't play the Canadian anthem, but it was more than covered by the Les Diplomates contingent in the stands. In French, of course.

kevingamin Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Mighty St. Joe's is just outside the field and they are playing the Phantom Regiment arrangement of Amazing Grace, facing away from the fans. Pretty much a pre-show warm-up, although they're at full volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 The snare line is once again playing on the indoor drum line snares with the really small shells. Bet their backs thank them at every show for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
