@Yeet Yeet we don't hate the European traditions so much. In fact, our culture has incorporated many of those traditions to make them uniquely American. We DID have a BIG issue with the tyranny of the rule and unfair taxation by King George of England. That was one of the major reasons why when our founders set up our government they didn't want a monarchy. Ideally it was to be a government of, by and for the common people. We got many of those ideas from the Native Americans who we lived peacably with in the beginning of our nation. If it weren't for them, the european immigrants would have NEVER survived. But then racism reared it's ugly head and ruined the once friendly relations we had with the native people. That's one "tradition" we should have left in "the old country".

May they never do away with this fine American tradition.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

For those who don‘t understand Swiss German: Top Secret is mentioned because the drum section of The Old Guard played a crucial role at the founding of the Top Secret drum corps. The third drummer from the left, Master Seargent Mark Riley, composed several marches and choreos for Top Secret and played also with them.
