Oh, memories. I was trying to explain the supreme geekitude triumph of winning a DMA marchoff, and looking up videos to show what it was. I can still see George's eyes cutting through mine before getting to do the final 'present arms' and how thrilling it was. A thrill that only a fellow DMA alum could possibly appreciate. X-D

Ooh man, the rapid fire Atten Huts and Parade rests. That never gets old. I actually won a march-off at the Texas DMA this year, and this is exactly how it was done .RIP George, so sorry I never got to meet you.

@youtubz192 Well nowadays pivots are considered outdated, since most bands don't use highstepping as their main marching style. Back in the day a lot of bands needed to know pivots because they would actually use them. A pivot is basically a right turn, except you highstep into it, and you don't continue moving forward.

@IncendiaryPistonOil Harch is just the comand, they say harch instead of march because it is ment to be said from a distance in a loud voice. It will sound like march when done that way.

@lakers012345 I believe it's also detail, present harm. The a and the s are long syllables that don't result in clarity.

R.I.P. George :/

I attended DMA in 1989,1990 and 1991 in Western MA and won the final march off my last year. What a thrill and a moment I'll never forget. He sounded exactly the same 17 years later, wow. He will be missed.

I love this video! Can somebody please tell me the commands that the dude uses to get them in and out of the salute, because I can't understand him. xD;

It's 'Detail, present arms' to call the salute. and then 'Detail, Order Arms' to bring it back.
