[haworth5]

WEAVE!!!!!!!!

[kaunasprince]

So the USAF is no longer part of the Armed Forces?

[regentschef116]

they have their own music school, own standards, etc.

[soundwavefreak6659]

it is....they just have their own school of music

[jtbsax]

@soundwavefreak6659 The Air Force actually doesn't have it's own school of music. Musicians report directly to the band upon completion of boot camp, just like the musicians that get accepted to the DC or Academy bands for all branches (except Marines, musicians accepted into the President's Own don't have to go to boot camp). This is part of the reason their entrance standards are higher than the other branches.

@jtbsax cool thanks i didn't know that

[spiked200]

If they miss a beat or note......do they make the offender stop and do a lot of push-ups?

[ddubblu]

[jamestakeshi]

[FatManGroupAndHippie]

heh...too late.

[ROBXXXL]

Good one!

[wunderpott]

music has nothing to do with patriotism. guys like you are the reason no one likes the u.s. anymore XD

[ROBXXXL]

O.K., No disrespect intended...it just struck me as a funny that the U.S. Marines were playing a song like Ely's Coming. Sorry, "Dude".

[katemihunt]

ROBXXXL "DUDE"..Learn to spell before you criticize...It's Eli numbnuts.

[saxy469]

Man that sax solo is bad and not in a good way...

[rmegtrst]

The guitarist is Master Sgt. Bob Roetker

[dirtrack650]

I was there in 75 with the same announcer on my recordings.

[MarineBugler]

I got there in June of that year as a D&B student. I dont recognize the cats on trumpet at all.  I think one of my sight singing instructors is playing alto sax (Navy). Sgt. Hayes (Marine Corps) was my initial instructor for D&B.

[TetrisEva]

great band. love this song. nice arrangement of it

[Flextones]

I graduated with honors from the AFSOM. That was a great training school. I have often wondered what happened to Sgt Andy Chahoski. He was the piano teacher when I was a student there. He supported me when others wanted to fail me. I have since gone on to a distinguished career as a church musician and public school music teacher.

[MegaBadMoFo]

@Flextones That explains a lot....

[tubetrekker30]

I used to have this record. Great job, group!

[Linkstar99]

The announcer is my DAD!

[groovyUtube]

Very impressive!

[arrogantasss]

My Alma Mater band....ha!!!
