The Army-Navy Game, NDR

[greg setter]

But you already figured that out from the title. The best football game you could ever go to, bar none. The Super Bowl is up there, but this is competition at its purest and finest. The march in starts at 12:15, and you don't want to miss it. here are a few pictures of the West Point Cadets coming in to the stadium

They are all sharp and exactly where they are supposed to be.

The crowd is cheering the whole time

The band is playing the whole time, they don't miss a note, and they are playing exactly what you would expect them to play, even if you don't know the names of the songs.

Thanks for posting these shots, Greg. I never knew that this is what they did during the pre-game activities. I can tell you that Bev and I sure did enjoy this game. Very exciting.

I spent many fall afternoons at Soldiers Field as a kid attending Army/Navy games with my family. Very fond memories and I watch or listen to every year now if I can.

I was 35 before I realized that the Star Spangled Banner didn't really end with GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

Go Army! Beat Navy! unfortunatly it's been a while :-(

At any rate the cadets at all of the academys are first rate young men and women. I never attended an A/N game but have a son who did...from the inside. WP Class of 96
