Pomp and Circumstance (a living history!)

Scenes from last week's Ft. McHenry Tattoo. Please don't ask why it is called a tattoo. I have no idea.


This is the Marine Corps' silent drill team.


This is the Marine's Drum and Bugle Corps.

Finally, this is the "Ft. McHenry Guard." Unforunately for them, they look like hacks after the precision of the Marine Corps. But, they do make their own costumes.

These guys toss their guns around without any verbal commands.
