There would have been a hole in the Sunburst without the DM in there. LOL Or the move where the rifle line tossed their rifles around him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That one is great. I think it's their 1979 show... in about a one-minute span near the end, they do three classic Troopers visuals... the Sunburst, the rifles around the drum major, and the rifle toss over the flags. And the audience is going nuts!!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had different podiums by James Gulke's era in the 90's, but I vividly remembering him doing some mark-time at BD. I wonder who the last person or corps to incorporate even some of that element into their conducting style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
