VR - 57 Conquistadors
The 15th Field Artillery Regiment Band are flown to San Diego to perform for the VR - 57 Conquistadors gala event. The Conquistadors of VR-57 are part of a team that is entrusted to safely execute responsive, flexible, and rapid deployable C-40 Clipper air logistics support to the Fleet and Combatant Commanders worldwide. Check out all the photos here... The Colonel Commandant has advised me that I Have used incorrect terminology in my original posting for a "Gun Camp" to be held on Artillery Day. "Gun Camp" is a term used by the Armoured Corps to describe their gathering for an exercise. The equivalent Artillery term should be "Practice Camp". Hmmm, unfortunately that term does not resonate with the civilian entities that I need to coordinate. How does the term "Artillery Demonstration" work? Any comments or other suggestions?
Saint Cecilia Dinner 2004
Wasn't that a party? The Band holds their annual Saint Cecilia Dinner on the floor of the Bessborough Armoury. Great food, great music, great friends......what more could you want. Oh, and there were awards and presentations. Are you willing to write up a better story telling us who was there and who was awarded what trophy? Drop me an email. |
