Judging from the two soprano soloists out there, they're playing the music from the bottle dance, but "the musical moment" hasn't arrived. Of course, in '72, the guard didn't line up and do the bottle dance we know and love. That came later ('73?).

Wow! I never knew that. I always thought they did it in 72. Learn something new everyday!

We've had various discussions about this, and I'm pretty sure that at some point, Maggie clarified what the guard did when. My recollection of what she wrote is this:

Santa Clara played the "Bottle Dance" music in '72, but the rifle line did not do the actual choreography. As I recall, Maggie said the flag line did a move that sort of mimicked the dance, but it wasn't the actual dance, itself. Then, in '73, the rifle line did the first true choreography to the "Bottle Dance" music.

You're right, and the restored video from '72 proves it.

Yes!...Looks like they are doing a kneeling type thing with their flags horizontal to the ground. Great video!
