WO Taylor plays at the ACR

June 15, 2010 in Cadet Recognition, Events

Here is a quick video of WO Taylor (Airdrie Army Cadets) and Dakota White (formerly 2137 Calgary Highlanders Cadets and now a Calgary Highlander) playing at the Airdrie Army Cadets’ Annual Cerimonial Review (ACR) at Mewata Armoury.  After they had marched out with the corps, they came back in and played for us for a bit.  These two certainly set the tone for the ACR and I can not imagine what it would have been like without them.

A special huge thanks to Dakota White for playing for us.
