Hello Jaime

imagine if a non profit did a fundraiser and the prize would be to dance with him or have him sing to you? I think they would beat any goals they may have! :-)

@@emmib1388 I would GLADLY donate money for that!😁

@@rebekahshipley1840 I thought you would ! LOL..... wonder what amount would be for the highest bidder? There are some that watch his videos everyday -- in fact, I am watching a repeat now.. did you know he is also part of the Peacherine Ragtime Society? they have videos on YT as well... check it out..

@@emmib1388 probably hundreds of dollars! We girls are pretty passionate about him. 😉 his version of "Take on Me" is one of my favorites. He makes me happy😁

@@rebekahshipley1840 that was the video I was watching during my last reply :-)

He's also really nice too.

Red is less then 12 years service, Gold for over 12 years

Gold indicates 12 years of "good" service in the US Navy. Red stripes indicate less than 12 years of service OR that the member had an NJP or other incident that prevented them receiving a Navy Good Conduct Medal. I can tell you that these members have never had a incident, so red simply means they have not yet reached the 12 year service mark.

Each stripe represents 4 years of service. After 12 years, or 3 stripes, if you earned "a good conduct award each time" the stripes change from red to gold. If you see someone with more than 2 stripes that are red, they got into trouble at some point in their service.

Ken, the NEC (Navy Enlistment Classification...our equivalent of MOS) for these sailors is MU for Musician. So, in response to your question...they are staying proficient!

Wonderfull.

This is a junior senior high school auditorium?!

@@doowopnuts Yes, but the main audiences that military bands attract is still very much Vietnam era and older. And those generation are slowly dying out for obvious reasons. Most bands use high school/college auditoriums because it’s typically cheaper than using a designated city performance venue.
