HOLY SHEEESHH ! Hands down this is the best drill i have ever seen. I'm not from BAL and must say this 1988 team destroys all competition from the 80's and even now. Excellent choice of songs/chant... very well placed and thought of. From the moment they start the team performed with such controlled intensity it hipnautically draws you in. Thanks djhelladef for this post and CONGRATS to the girls of the 1988 BALBOA GDT !!!

I was looking 4 videos of BHS jrotc & i found urs. Thought it was intersting b/c my stepmom was CDR in 88 4 GDT. Maybe u know her? Her name is Alice. Anyways, yrs later I attended BHS. I joined DC, DP & GDT. By my sr. year I was apart of the Brigade Staff. I'm c/o 2003. If this isn't ur year (1988), maybe u might knw my parents who also attended BHS. My dad is Joseph Perez (they all called him Kenny)& my mom is Teresa Perez, formally Teresa Barellano. Thought it would be nice 2 share this w/ u.

[djhelladef]

Of course i know your stepmom. But this was the November 1988 competition held after she graduated earlier that year in June 1988. so technically, its the c/o 1989's comp year. good to know you kept the ROTC tradition in your family going! tell her i said hi...

Holy crap... They're flawless... But was it the video recording or were they really that highly pitched? Either way.. It won first.

[djhelladef]

yeah, they sure were flawless, werent they? And nope, its not the recording, they were highly pitched. Back in the day, the GDT were very innovative and focused on coming up with drills/formations with creative songs that needed to be sung LOUD. By todays' standards, the loud singing comes off as having "pitch problems." They sounded much better in person than on the recording. and yup, either way, it was a 1st place performance.
