kyttle_kadiver Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 i was wondering if anyone could help me translate some commands into different languages. Just the commands for going to attention, going to parade rest, horns up, and horns down, i don't really want the others. I want translations for Spanish, German, and Japanese...(but others are cool too). If you're really cool you can put a pronunciation key too!

InspaDave Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I marched three years in a Japanese corps. I never heard any corps or band use commands in Japanese. It was always English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BariSaege Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Same in Germany. Members all know the englisch expression. There is no translation. I can give the the theoretical translation, but noone use it. Englisch is the dominant Corps language. What you can translate might be the meaning of each command.

kyttle_kadiver Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 haha, well its just a running joke with my corp to be called to attention and parade rest in ways that other corps at retreat wouldn't expect to hear. So what would be the closest translation to those kind of commands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I do remember hearing the Canadian corps giving commands in French. One year, Bridgemen did it for some parts of their show.....I guess they thought it was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 (edited) haha, well its just a running joke with my corp to be called to attention and parade rest in ways that other corps at retreat wouldn't expect to hear. So what would be the closest translation to those kind of commands? You won't find any I don't think. Yamato doesn't even use Japanese for field commands as the English ones are the same commands that are used in Japanese corps. But I guess if you want to be funny about it... just add an o (pronounced "oh") at the end of each word (provided that the word ends in a constonant (sp?) minus the letter "n". If a "ch" or "sh" ending, add an "i" (pronounced "ee") to the end), which will then complete a process known as "Japanization."

B) One of our staff, Wayne Dillon, did that a bit last year, he'd always say "Re-setto!" instead of "Reset", to which we always said "Hai!"
