2146580 2150694 Was in the local parade, and had fun.

[Railroad Brony]

2150798 Same here. Lead snare.

[Darth Redbeard]

2150799 Drum for the SUVCW. Only drum. Did play bass back in my high school marching band. For 3 years, I was co-captain of the drum-line.

[Railroad Brony]

2150805 Not bad. My drum captain chose me to be the lead yesterday because my father has experience with the Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps, Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps, and he was in band in High School. I didn't tell him that Dad played contra. Dad's got a great rhythm, but can't read drum music. He taught me several things when I was younger, though.

2150864 Not bad. You know, there is a group for reenactors here, right? Oh, and here is a fact you might find interesting. I am directly related to Brigadier General Edward S. Bragg, of the Iron Brigade.

[Darth Redbeard]

2150873 I know about re-enactors. Some of the others are. The SUVCW are the decedents of the soldiers. We go there every year to honor the Union and four Confederates buried at that cemetery.

2150896 Ah.
