I'd rather see more intricate marching and less of the gun tossing.


A marching bagpipe band is what you want.


Should have read this first!


Yes. now y'all are talkin'. You are probably aware that there is
some twirling and occasional tossing in a pipe band march...just not
guns.


Guns with bayonets fixed thereon are what make the presentation exciting and exacting.

The rifle tossing is a sight to behold and probably what helped them win. But...each to his own.
Here's something a little milder!

If you say so. I'm sure it takes a lot of practice and dexterity, but
the presentation leaves me yawning.

Probably.

Seeing it live provides a whole different dimension.

I wonder if those folks were pre- or post-Hitler?

Some folks might find this presentation of close order drill more to their liking:

The 'military' aspect is somewhat subdued.
