They are absolutely awsome, are they not?!!! My some is stationed with them at the 8th & I in Wash.D.C. (He is in the Commandant's Own Drum & Bugle Corps) I have watched them drill and the discipline these young men have is something to behold! Anyone visiting D.C. through the summer months owes it to themselves to catch an Evening Parade held every Fri. night at the 8th & I barracks, or every Tues afternoon at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington Cemetery (both performances free to the public!)

The soloist (the tall one) playing the melophone (the large-belled bugle) is my son!!
PS: They are known as the Silent Drill Team because the whole drill is performed without any vocal commands!!

It's a great thing to see. I'm hoping to take my wife down to 8th and I street this spring to see it again.
