kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 The Marines open with American Salute. After the opening statement, which was Hella Clean, a lone baritone up front plays the melody as the rest of the horns play backfield.

kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Very nice tonguing technique from the sopranos, both on the move and standing still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sops nailed a very exposed Johnny comes marching home double tongue lick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Excellent rotating forms by the corps as well. Now they're compressing a block formation into very tight intervals, keeping relative spacing perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 So, are the Marines dot to dot or dress to form? Serious question. I'm curious as to their technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just executed two perfect drill moves. Amazing talent in this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm actually glad the Marines came to DCA instead of DCI. They should perform in an open air venue like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks like mostly dot to dot, but they do have to perform these drills with and without lines in various venues so I have heard they practice both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Nice 180 snap turn by the horns! Drum solo. I believe it's Rocky Top. Snare line sounds so sharp they could cut me just by playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
