MOST MEMORABLE TROOPER MOMENT: |
Lots! The most personal and precious trooper memory would be playing to a special man, Band Secretary Tony Grey, who was seriously ill during the 2004 summer tour visit to my home corps. The band formed up in full regalia and marched down his road and played to him outside his house. A very moving moment which I know meant a lot to him and his family. Others include running up the famous 'Rocky' steps in Philadelphia with the rest of the Troopers (and not coming last!). Harlem Temple, marching at the Tournament of Roses Parade, playing in the stunning Crystal Cathedral, seeing people come into the Army for the first time after seeing us play outside. |
