  1. Well... Despite my warnings that we were done, people keep signing up to follow. So we will announce some changes in near future. Cheers!
  2. Well gang... We are leaving the page open for the 2013 inaugural, but will not be adding comments for a few years. Thanks for following!
  3. One AFIC veteran--from numerous inaugurals--predicted 12 changes, but the delays at the beginning allowed units some spare time to show up.
  4. Well folks...the merge point team is done. Order of March was a "win." Nobody dropped out!
  5. They will be the first civilian unit in the second division...just after various types of Marine units.
  6. Apparently the delay in starting has allowed the Deleware Firemen to re-enter at their original position 2-6.
  7. Heads up! The first 8 units have passed the merge point and on hold to begin the parade abt 10 mins after POTUS leaves Capitol.
  8. The volunteer fireman unit (420 pax) was late. They're now in the assembly area, so they will fall back... but not fall out.
  9. All announcers on parade route confirmed the change.
  10. Dvision 2-6 Deleware Volunteer Firemen moves to end of Division 2 (after 2-22)
  11. It's now official!
  12. Script 1 is in position at the merge point. This is where three lines: floats, marching units and the horses are merged into a parade.
  13. This is a test of the capability to update the script in real time.
