In Hoc Signo Vinces...and conquer we did

I will always remember that song! What a great experience this band review was. We sounded really good.

THROWBACK! They were kinda small here. But still pretty good!

[nowaydudestop]

"Still pretty good?" "Throwback!" "Kinda small?" We were the first Scarlet Brigade Band ('88) to beat the Merced Marching Million. We built the foundation (84-88) that the rest of the Brigade stands on. You betta recognize!

Wow. Thanks for posting. I was in the Merced Marching Million from 1985-1989. I remember Fairfield being somebody to look out for those days. Do you have any of Merced back in the day. I lost all of mine.

Thanks!

Hi allenman. I have nothing but respect

for the Merced Marching Million. You guys

had a great band program all those years.

I remember in 87 or 88 being at a review somewhere and hearing you warm up with "Washington Grays" and it was very rich (and scary to me!). I bookmarked Armijo playing that march because of you guys. Sorry I don't have video of you guys.

Pretty sweet, man.
