It's didn't and played through the whole song. I burst into tears in rank because bootcamp was finally at an end.

This song almost became the "Second Stars and Stripes Forever"---it sounds a bit like John Philip Sousa music-wise--has the same aspects of a Sousa-style American military march, even though Edwin Eugene Bagley did that and not Sousa. It was one of the mainstay songs of Washington DC's grand 4th of July firework spectacular for lots of years in the patriotic music medley during the fireworks.

I have always loved this march, that is after I stopped being completely intimidated by it at band camp as a Freshman flute & piccolo player. The first day of camp, our director, Mr. Fournier had us sight read and play on tempo!! We were to memorize it as it would be our football game and parade march song. By Friday of camp I could actually play it, although at half tempo. Fifty plus years later I couldn’t remember the name and thought maybe Sousa wrote it as I searched KZbin for the recording. My husband got caught up with the search and he’s the one that found it today. Disneyland’s band plays it daily as they recess the flag retreat ceremony. That’s where the search began for the name. 😂 Yay! I’d even contacted two bandmates from HS, neither one could remember either. I just couldn’t let it go. All is right with the world now. ❤️

Someone tell me why, when most of our enemies are armed with AKs, we still have a weapon which requires closing in to about three feet to use, by which time any competent enemy has put a half dozen rounds in us. More of a risk of training deaths (and in this case, parade injuries) than a serious weapon. My unit had bayonets and never issued them, even in Iraq, but everytime we had an inventory they had to be counted; for some reason it was tough to get the same number twice.
@reddevilparatrooper10 жыл бұрын
James Horn Yes thats true even we are in the 21st Century.Its more today of a ceremonial weapon like the sword.Its the last symbol of the Infantry's use of cold steel.I remember a couple of years ago i was watching some vintage Saddam era Iraqi films made during the 80s here on KZbin about the Iraq-Iran war.Every Iraqi soldier from commander down to private looked like Saddam wearing a mustache and always heroic.It showed Iraqi and Iranian infantry bayonet fighting with AKs and G-3s in no mans land like it was the Western Front of WWI.Good bayonet action from the actors but i thought it was hilarious.So i went and asked an Iraqi old man who owns a pizza joint here in Vegas if they fought with bayonets during his time fighting the Iranians?He said it was true because he was fighting in Southern Iraq across from Um Quasar and in Iran near the Abaddan oil fields.The Iranians would infiltrate their Infantry at night to take out their positions via close combat.They would shoot it out and fight hand to hand all night until they would beat back the Iranians.If you ever look at the aftermath footage of that war in that area,the battlefield was littered with bodies like WWI.Even though bayonets are archaic they still did see some use.
@EdWoodJr195610 жыл бұрын
James Horn Back in the old days of single shot muskets (that took forever to reload) after the musketeers had emptied their weapons, the enemy could rush the musket line. The first idea was to have men with spears covering the musketeers. Later they got rid of the spears, and just stuck a knife on the end of the musket. And that was the bayonet. With the coming of multiple shot rifles, the bayonet was no longer practical. But you must admit, a bayonet charge is still pretty intimidating.
@jameshorn27010 жыл бұрын
Edward Wood If the enemy pops up from 20 meters away, yes. But on the whole, I would rather face someone who thought the bayonet was a good idea rather than someone who stands off and launches grenades and rpgs. Gen Shoomaker put out a combat training manual which recommended a 300 meter bayonet assault course. The minimal hand to hand component of his training program we were exposed to prior to deployment to Iraq cost us 3 soldiers out of 76 permanently, are 4 more who rejoined us in theater after weeks of treatment. (I admit to taking some satisfaction that one of the instructors suffered a broken thumb) I think some of our soldiers fired while on convoy, but no one used the hand to hand stuff, and our bayonets never made it out of the Conex.

I attended high school in Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech. This march was often played by the Virginia Tech Regimental Band better known as the Highty-Tighties.

+The Springtrap ....I'm an old tenor sax guy but I like playing the alto sometimes. I hope your band experience is as good as mine was.

+The Springtrap When you play these marches remember that these are military marches. Remember that these were written to honor men who were fighting and spilling their blood so that you could one day live free and play your saxophone in a time of peace. This is your heritage and history. Never forget the millions of men who have paid with their lives that you might have a chance at freedom. Never forget It is better to walk alone and do that which is right than to walk in the company of fools who know nought but folly. I play the saxophone also by the way =p Take care and may Christ Jesus bless and keep you.

+Daniel Boone I completely agree with you. I sometimes tell the same thing to my band mates. I tell them to play this song with pride because it is originally played by people who serve in our army, protecting.
