Continentals executing commands

Period commands in use in the context of the Continentals. You hear the commands and then have various views when they are excuted at the beginning. Remember this is a mini movie not a training film.

These guys are Redcoats, but at least it gives you a good visual of what it looks like when executing the period commands

Next Practice

The next CG practice will take place on Thursday 19 July 2012 next to the Bowen House at Moss Wright Park in Goodlettsville. You do not need to dress out for the practice. If you have a period weapon (Musket or Rifle) please bring it. I will bring the flags with me.

I would like to practice a minimum of once a month, twice being preferred. We will practice on different days and times to see what fits the majority's schedule. This week I would like to meet at 5pm. If I hear back from a few people that the time should be adjusted a little later we can do that.

We will begin to practice with period commands to get us all use to hearing and reacting to them. This will help when we fall in with other CG units that use them.

Summer Suit

Another possible place to order your clothing from. A summer suit would not be a bad idea for events here in the South and I noticed "Regimentals" in his advertisement.
