skeptic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 liz help me out here. i haven't seen a show. are they using any national flag as an instrument to use for tosses or spinning? is a national flag being dipped? if so that is a flag violation. it's illegal. a national flag should never be lower that any other flag. i'm just trying to find out what's going on. Basically they are using silks that represent the UK flag. They are not actual flags nor are they exact replicas. Spun and thrown just like any other flag. DCA clearly has no issues with it so Im not really sure why this thread is still going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurcsGuyGD. Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Empire Statesmen, Stars and stripes show. mid to early 90's. Giant sized American flag flies over the entire field and gets tossed off into the sidelines. It was an epic moment in which a great drum corps gave tribute to our American flag. What is so bad about that? Now the Hurcs are doing a fun show paying tribute to great British song writers. I don't see what's so bad about that as well. (edit) Time to end this thread already. That's what I'm thinkin. Edited July 22, 2012 by Geoff Edited inappropriate comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitBos Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Honestly, I don't think anyone from Hurricanes (or any corps for that matter, DCA or DCI) would make the "mistake" of having color guard flags an exact copy of a nations flag. So just let it be. And I agree with the two who have already said it: I think it's about time this thread is closed, I don't see a reason for this to continue.

JohnZ Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 No, I think we'll just close it - nothing of substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
