    This is a part of the game I really miss from the national broadcasts. The marching bands add so much to the college football experience and it’s sad it’s been removed from the national broadcasts.

    • @ogdnaemoc
      @ogdnaemoc Год назад +1

      @stormwarning1235 - IMO the key word here is "marching". The Aggie band is truly a precision marching band. They perform intricate maneuvers while playing "Marches". Don't get me wrong, many bands out there are great. However, they play zero marches but instead tunes that belong to Broadway hit shows, Mozart, Panini, Zuchinni, or whoever classical composers. To me they are performing ensembles. They should call themselves something other than "marching" bands. Walking sideways, back pedaling, dancing etc. is not marching. Other than the Aggies, i know of no other true marching band playing marches and they change routines every week. Not so other bands. They keep same shows every week. Now, the Texas Longhorn is band is called "The Showband of the Southwest'" and not a "marching" band. I think they are a great performing band. That's my take on it.

    BQ '76 My first thought was, "Where in the hell are they goin' ?" We always uncoiled from the end-zone. Not happy about the second row at the step-off; took them 20 yards to get it straight. I've never seen this drill before; the drills are far more varied than in my day. Nice optical allusion starting at 2:30; so much movement! I had to watch it several times before I realized they were individually only marching 10 yards and doing a counter-march (and turned that into a 3-step turn by swinging their leg around; rather than planting the right foot and then moving the left foot). And the last time is a 2-step "To the Rear".
    From 3:54 to 6:13 was perfection. Imagine how many hours of their free time the drum majors and Bugle Rank spend to get all this right before The Band ever shows up for practice. All in all, I'd give them a 10 O'Clock ( They don't have Call to Quarters to study on Sunday night). Sadly, those days are long gone.
    Naval is Navy/Marine. We were NOT this formal in my day. They just had us show up at the Trigon; no big deal.
    Did I miss something?!! After "support and defend" he left out "the Constitution of the United States" !! "against all enemies, foreign and domestic..." I remember it as "protect and defend". Did they change it, or do I remember it incorrectly?

      The band wears the uniform of the day for the Corps of Cadets, and this is not a dress uniform. Patterned after the 1931 Army Officers’ service uniform, colloquially called “Pinks and Greens” in the Army, or “Class A’s” at A&M. In 1931 this uniform was simply a garrison uniform, or non-field uniform
