The UMMB led the opening ceremonies for the competition with The Star Spangled Banner and their trademark version of “God Bless the USA”. It was incredibly moving and everyone was at least choked up, if not crying. The soloist started the lyrics, then the band sang it a capella. It was gorgeous. The Color Guard was spectacular and the audience was totally wowed.
The flags and stars on this page and the previous one are all stamped. The stars are stamped in white and embossed in white on metallic gold paper, then cut out, leaving a small gold border around the white star.
The flags are triple stamped, once on gold (and embossed in gold) for the staff, stamped and embossed in blue for the stars, and stamped and embossed in red for the stripes. Then each of the individual pieces were cut out and the flags assembled.
