Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights played "National Emblem March" and "Americans We." The corps in the preview image is the St. George Olympians from Springfield, Massachusetts.
One of the other corps in the montage is the Madison Scouts. TJ has a video of them, too, Madison Scouts 1976 @ Miscellaneous Corps SIngles Stars and Stripes Forever.
Two notes about this show. First, one of my high school marching band instructors was going to march with this corps, but decided against it. The corps never filled his spot. It's visible at 0:10 at the bottom of the U. After I marched in North Star, I told him, "You can point at the video and say that's your spot. I can point at the video and say 'that's me!'" Second, people who know the Flag Code and the rules DCI used in 1976 might wonder how the Scouts were able to march the American flag without an armed escort. That's not an official U.S. flag, at least, it wasn't when it was being used. First, that's a 48-star flag. Second, it's missing the red stripe along the bottom, so it only has 12 stripes. That same instructor pointed both of those out.
I close by returning to Drink to the 4th of July with Defunctland on Disney's America and 'The Stars and Stripes Forever'.
Skyy hasn't posted a regular-length video for 4th of July so far this year. Instead, he live-streamed 4th of July drinks for nearly 3 hours last night. I'm neither watching that nor sharing it with my readers. It's enough to make me use another creator for next year's celebration, should 4th of July be worth celebrating then.Skyy posted two shorts for 4th of July this week. The one that isn't a rehash of an earlier video is Patriot Missile Bomb Shot #cocktail.
As I wrote last year, "Drink responsibly, or if you wish to drown your sorrows, at least don't drink and drive."
