We weren't "lucky" about anything though so slow your roll. I swear, to this day, I discount it entirely although I shouldn't. But, MAN, that HIT on the front was absolutely dialed in! It felt like you were "running to catch up" for about 6 counts and completely out of sync, breath, and time then WHAM!, you nailed that company front. Damh! That was the best "blow your hair back" moment I recall for years. The 7/8 that took over in the push to the end, combined with the INCREDIBLE marching just made it mesmerizing to watch. Still, to this day, spine tingly. Thanks, Tek. Dood, I tear up remembering how excited I was watching it live that night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can - it was year “never happened”!! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it is possible for the organization to be a disaster and the corps to be doing very well, which seems to be the case here. You should go to the DCI meeting some time and pay attention to what people are talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
