Call Us Nerds or Bandies or whatever you would like. We still Won!! 20 plus years in the US Navy they say that I cant march .O well cant win them all. We were kids at that time .But the time and the dedication helped me carry on in life! A Proud Lafayette Band Nerd and a US Navy Seabee Veteran .

I marched in this show, and let me tell you, if you were out on the 'wings' you had to cover some SERIOUS ground in about 4 measures. LOL

And it’s still one of the best programs I’ve ever seen some 42 years later. The drill, music, uniforms, tall hats. Just nothing like it anymore. Cammi became a good friend of mine at MTSU by the way. Thanks for the view and the comment!
