Thank you for posting this. I do not remember this happening, and I was in college at that time.

My sisters were in Brunswick Marching Blue Devils band. My sister Jenny played trumpet and my sister Jill was a majorette

my dad is right there in the trumpet section. He tells me stories how they had a sniper scoping them the entire time and were instructed to not raise their trumpets too fast because it could be perceived as a threat. They also weren’t told about the official plans for the parade until a day before and had to sleep there locked in a room probably because they couldn’t risk someone going out knowing the plans for the parade. Cool stuff man.

47:27 I'd like to say that Walt Disney had many successes, as did Col. Lindbergh. They had to see a need and a goal, take failures and learn from them, and then go at it again. Success is often built with failure. learning, determination, and resting when needed. Walt Disney knew that and a whole bunch more. He also was a wonderful team-builder.
