River2K 10 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I had an idea for an opening ceremony of a Troop meeting and thought I'd ask for a few opinions of my idea here. Boston's Greatest Hits CD, track 15 is The Star Spangled Banner/4th of July Reprise. It's an electric guitar instrumental of at least one verse of the Star Spangled Banner. I was thinking the Scouts would get a kick out of some rock music played for an opening at a meeting. It could be done respectfully and might spark some interest for finding other creative openings. I might even be able to convince them to sing. What do you think? Ken Link to post Share on other sites

htc1992eaglescout47553 10 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 There is a Christian Metal Band from the 1980's called Stryper. On their "Soldiers Under Command" album, they did an interesting version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic". To put it in rocker's lingo, that version "smokes" and I think it would be cool for a closing. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Bear 12 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Don't forget Jimmy Hendrix's version. Ok, now I am not so sure. But, run it up and let's see if anyone salutes! FB Link to post Share on other sites
