  • I DON'T SEE ANY STINKIN Bb TRUMPETS IN THE CROWD .... ONLY "G" BUGLES THANKS GOT SOME HAS KEPT THE DREAM ALIVE .....

  • Great soprano line!

  • Exceptional! The cadets should be very proud to have such a professional unit on campus and available for all functions.

  • This sounds like the intro to some old 80'ies tv show :D

  • Bb bugles? Guess that the single valve threw me. Other than Preston Scout House, I'd never heard of such an animal! Love the "old style" rudiments! Do you have a drum corps background?

  • @almailman, This show was performed in June 2010. Those are actually Bb bugles, believe it or not. They have a single valve, so they can also play in F, giving them a wider note selection. Our buglers also have valveless G bugles. They use both horns pretty much daily in support of the Corps of Cadets at West Point, for military funerals, for shows like this, etc. And yes, we (the drum section) are playing a few rudiments. Quite a few. :-)

    Thanks for viewing!

  • What year is this? G bugles (Just as God had intended). I'm not a drummer, but I'm guessing that they're actually playing rudiments.

  • @tusmab6 I agree. I had the chance of listening to the Hellcats live at USMA's SLS 2011. I was speechless - there is nothing compared to listening to the Hellcats while sitting just 20ft away from them.

  • THERE IS NO BETTER GROUP THAN THE HELLCATS! They are the longest serving musical group in the Army. I had the pleasure of serving as the Commander of The United States Military Academy Band 1 August 1979 to 30 JUne 1987 and I featured the "Hellcats" often in concerts and they always received warm and heavy applause from the audience.

  • I am speachless sympley amazing
