    That was catchy, but being a traditionalist and retired Army guy, I would have to say that I prefer the services official songs be played straight. The order of precedence was sort of ignored, I suppose because the Air Force was the sponsor/leader in this endeavor, and they chose to go last in the arrangement. But precedence says oldest to youngest when playing the services official songs, which is, Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. When all the service flags are displayed together, the order is the Army's flag being first on the viewer's left, then moving to the right with the 4 others. If a U.S. flag is included, it is to the viewer's left of the Army flag.

    Gotta agree you John in liking the ‘traditional’ version better. But there are some who really like jazz.

    Well, that's interesting. In my early CG Band days, we had Col. Sam Laboda (director of The U.S. Army Band and senior military musician, as I recall). Our service medley at the time had the CG first, and the Col. told us that was wrong. He said it would go oldest to newest. So we re-wrote ours.

    Egads! I think I am losing it or have lost it!! You are absolutely right, Dave. The Army is first. We play the Armed Forces Medley every November on our concert. And the Army is always first. I think when it hailed on our house a month ago, and I stepped outside to look, I must have gotten bonked on the head by the hail. Col. Laboda was the leader and commanding officer when I was in the U.S. Army Band, then Col. Allen took over shortly before I left.

    I am going to correct my earlier post so I don't look like any more of an idiot than I already do!!! I think I was concentrating on the Air Force being out of order and totally blotched the whole thing. I am now going into seclusion.

    Well, I'm still an idiot, but maybe just a part-time idiot. Take a look here:

    No wonder I'm confused. Oops, I was supposed to be in seclusion.

    Interesting! At the time Laboda joked that "everyone knows it is the greatest honor to appear last." (Meaning we should feel honored that the described order put the CG last.) Do you have the email address of the Army Chief of Staff? He must know!

    You may have lost that honor with the advent of the United States Space Force!! I haven't heard their song yet.
