[edit] Guidons and Unit Colors
Anyone know when they stopped carrying unit colors at NMF? "Sabres, guidons and unit colors" used to be the standard, with unit colors only occasionally being dropped. I think it depended on the UOD. - Tarfu92 19:55, 20 March 2007 (PST)
[edit] D&B
Same with D&B: As I remember it, the Academy band (enlisted) and D&B (cadet)both used to do NMF (they would alternate), but the Band would do all of the parades. For cost-cutting measures, maybe in the early 90s, I remember seeing that the Band got absorbed into some other AF musical unit, and the Academy went to primarily D&B, presumably always for NMF. Don't know if parades were any different. Anyone who knows the timing and the details, please add. - Tarfu92 19:55, 20 March 2007 (PST)
