Beautiful, the salute wasn’t palm up but doesn’t bother me too much! Brilliant work man!

[@dodgeballstuff3232]

it's the American way of saluting, in the UK and most of Europe the palm is forward facing except for the royal navy

[@traildog_adventures]

The Naval salute of Palm down came from the days of sail. Since sailors hands were often dirty it was considered unseemly to show dirty hands to officers, so the palm was turned down. It was the late 19th early 20th century when the US Army switched from Palm forward to Palm down, the same salute as the US Navy and Marine Corps which had always been using.

@@traildog_adventures just going off of the tradition of the uniform bud haha

[@traildog_adventures]

Bands Of NorCal I was just saying where the palm down salute came from and the history behind it. I wasn't saying anything negative about yours, but I'm sure if I took the time I could find something to nitpick on. But what would be the point of doing that?

[@Bandsofnorcal]

Traildog Adventures you are very true I am knit picking, the overall routine is flawless I’m just noticing something 😉 that’s all

Going from HBCU Drum major videos to this one is so disappointing

[@majormanfredrex]

I watched a few seconds of this and asked myself why anyone would wear Highland regalia and then put on a performance like this. Surely an Elvis Presley style jumpsuit would be more suitable.

Yet another thing stolen by Americans and made goofy

Beat time and armswing too jerky and out of phase with the feet...ie ahead of the feet beat wise. Armswing needs to come back past the leg and not jerkily stop at the leg on the down swing. There are no whistles in Scottish drum majoring. Also British salutes are supposed to be palm up. Do one of those instead of an American DCI drumcorps hand salute. Flourishes of course are fantastic.
