The tune at the start is “The Highlandman” which is possibly associated with Con Cassidy...followed by “The Cliffs of Glencolmkille” and “Old Cuffe Street”. Maybe all of these are from Con Cassidy lol. Or not! He no doubt played these tunes at some point.
This is not "Con Cassidy's and Neil Gow's Highlands / Moll and Tiarna / McSweeney's Reels" from Altan's "Horse With A Heart" (1989)! This is "The Highlandman/The Cliffs of Glencolumbkille/Old Cuffe Street" from Frankie Kennedy & Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's "Altan" (1987) !
actually you will be very proud of the new goss team... we brought all the old stuff back and we have an alum teaching us hell we even have a 16 man block
Great song indeed!! Was so disappointed when I had found out Brian wasn't coming to Goderich this year. After two weeks of aftermath, I really badly wanted to hear this song. And here I found it :) I've always loved this song (not to mention Brian lol).
@redbaker Actually Roy we didnt get first in Exhibition, but we did take first in every other category. @Centurion96 It was Moreno Valley High School from Moreno Valley, Ca that took first in everything but Exhibition and took home the sweepstakes trophy from that year and many before

@ redbaker1 In 1995, Morse High School from San Diego took the Sweepstakes trophy. They have an outstanding JROTC program there, and we had a pretty healthy respect for them, especially considering two of our Squad Leaders graduated from there before coming to NMMI. Even though Morse took Sweepstakes, we did place 1st in Exhibition. It was a foundation to build on for the next year in 1996, when we did finally take Sweepstakes.
Good rendition of this Peggy Seeger classic. But as a railroader, I'm disappointed you left out the railway stanza, very British though it may be: Here's to the drivers and firemen and the rest of the team, Who keep the stock rolling by diesel and steam, To the cleaners and shunters who work night and day, And the track laying gangs on the permanent way
@Centurion96 I think you are right at the AF Academy plagiarism. look at 2:20 and that is one of their moves in their current routine. Also, some formations of the USAFA honor guard seem to be derived from this routine as well. never occured to me. I feel even better knowing that we inspire even the academies.
