Kings Guard 1997

[Pipestem09]

I had the honor to attend the Drill Competition held in Daytona this past year. The Kings Guard made another presence there and did a great performance. Also speaking in their native tongue when they shouted their commands. Was a great performance and also unforgettable.

[dominicandriller09]

this is the best drill team ever in my opinion

[David92SJG]

heh...ive seen blackwatch this year though..i wouldnt be talking..especially for that poor john jay performance. that team we had last year was only together and tought for about 2 months. that says alot. and for your info, we got reg & inspection in the top 10. shove it ho. were already years ahead of where we were last year

[surfgirl808]

i so want to be on that drill team (drill is my life)

[rajahout808]

[silentshadw7]

[David92SJG]

[ADrillnaline]

yeah you guys weren't nats champs last year

[David92SJG]

i meant instead of last year"that year" lol you confused me for a second.

that year we were natnl champions.

were reclaiming it this year tho..screw blueguard and patriot guard..they can have sloppy seconds of the natnl trophies..lol

[DashingRave]

I like your motivation, but didn't your Drill Instructors teach you not to badmouth other people?

[David92SJG]

he tried..lol

its a natural team thing..especially a high school drill team who have tasted national champions gold 11 times:)

[DashingRave]

No, I meant you David92sjg. --> "..screw blueguard and patriot guard..they can have sloppy seconds of the natnl trophies.."

Let's all be a good sport here. -_-

[David92SJG]

compared to what they talk about us, i am being a good sport ma:)

[darchangel08]

LMAO AT THE STAR WARS CHANTING XD

[LuNaT1Kcc]

long beach poly stole this whole routine

[rickmiester562]

2 members of kings guard came down to lb poly to teach dark knights stuff you dickk

get yo shit straight we never jacked shit, its too bad that fakewood fag dragons cant spin for shit

remember we have been winning all city for 15 years straight and running

DKEDT

[LuNaT1Kcc]

only cause all city is rigged

[ceejaayxx]

cabrillo was supposed to be 1st place over all for all city this year and lakewood was supposed to be 2nd place. the only reason why it wasn't like this was because the points for PT weren't counted for the overall points. Lakewood was right behind poly in the exhibition and cabrillo was right under poly in the regulation. However, Lakewood and Cabrillo made it 1stt and 2nd place PT overall. If those points were included the outcome woult have been different.

[Dadustbowl04]

Man i miss drilling.. i was on the Moanalua team that won 3 straight.. those were da days..

[sinoako86]

i haven't drilled in 3 years, man its nice to see this up.

[SomeRandomName00]

why do they call themselves the king's guard? If they are part of the JROTC which is a US military program doesn't that sound kind of treasonous?

[donmaiwhite]

we are a private team from hawaii that was doing a show for the national jrotc drill competition.we replicate the guards from Iolani Palace during the Hawaiian Monarchy

[fatotobado]

does anyone know where this was?

[donmaiwhite]

OGRADY SAYS: POST

[keithwarren7]

It was just a special performance, they were not judged.

[kayamana]

Good stuff. Good year as well. How's Hanalei? I haven't seen him since I left St. Louis where he was our coach.

[meehmakulit]

Everybody always ask about the "row row your boat song"...well, unfortunately a few of the members that year were retiring from the team after many,years of service some dating back in the mid 70's. The song in the end was supposed to be the row, row your boat song dedicated to the retirees but unfortunately the crowd cheered so loud in the end that the people never got to hear the full song which was supposed to end at " life is but a dream ".

-elmer

'96 MoHS

Member King's Guard 95-97

[MWDrill]

What were the lyrics preceding the "Row Your Boat" melody? The recoding doesn't allow me to make them out very well.

[Breon331]

It's not Row your boat... It's the Darth Vader theme from Star Wars.

[MWDrill]

No, it really is the "row your boat" melody. The Star Wars melody was from a different performance. Perhaps if you READ THE COMMENT FROM A FORMER GUARD, you would've have missed this...

[MWDrill]

"If you want to be a Guard

If you want the thrill

If you practice every day

And every day you drill..."

I can't make out the rest. The end is definitely:

"Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream."

[mchelopilot]

I hate to contradict you Matt, but Breon331 is right about the Darth Vader theme. It's in the beginning at 1:27-1:43. You're right too, except the row your boat song is at the end.

[MWDrill]

I realized after I posted that haha! I skipped past the first part to find the second song.

[mchelopilot]

lol

[fireangel783]

Row row row your boat?!?

[randomkid]

i like their routine now better.

but they seemed to really have some humor with the star wars hum and row row your boat song at the end.

lol, i love kings guard, everything is so precise.

[torrentine]

wow they actually made a mistake lol

[fartingnoises]

really they did?

[georgejrotc]

HAHA star wars that just made my day

[Sv3nt3k]

Alright! The King's Guard never cease to amaze me. I love it how they are really down to earth people. Especially they're small ditties within the routine. XD
