  • Very much needed in the activity

    This would be great to any younger types to get a feel for high caliber marching percussion. These guys are funny and I really do think they have a good opinion.

    I heard about it because they had Josh Brickey and they mentioned on of the lines I marched (2000 cadets) and it was cool. I have subscribed since and i have been catching up from the beginning since then.

    Nice work Nick & Mike.
