Capt Dan you beat me to it.

For some years now GAF Department of the Platte has provided the color guard for the opening ceremonies at Winter Range, the SASS national championship match held this year from February 22nd -28th. The opening ceremony will be the evening of the 24th at 7PM in the main tent. We need troops in uniform (we are relaxed about specific era and historical perfection) with military rifles, carbines or sabers. If you can participate or are interested please get in contact with Sagebrush Burns via this thread, PM, or e-mail (akbullen2001@yahoo.com). As always it is an honor and privilege to present the colors in the company of fellow GAF members.

Col. Burns Sir
As stated in my reply to your email, I will be attending Winter Range this year and would be honored to serve in the color guard at the opening ceremony. As requested I will bring a saber/sword and a long gun for use as may be needed.

Sir, you are in! Thank you. Maybe see you at Rio in the meantime?

Always fun to shoot with you Sagebrush. It's great seeing you shoot the Spencer.
See you at the next match!

I was noticing on the Winter Range schedule that the opening ceremony is at 5:30 this year.

Is that the time when we bring in the flags?

Sagebrush Burns · February 08, 2016, 11:08:42 PM

Damn Colt, I'm glad somebody around here is keeping up to date and keeping me in line and on task. I will double check with WR management and confirm that and respond here when I have done so.

I have been able to confirm the 5:30PM start time for the opening ceremonies. We will meet at the main entrance to the big tent at 5:15. Please be in uniform and bring your rifle/carbine and/or saber. I will bring a saber, Spencer carbine and two white flag carriers. We will make final assignments of positions and equipment on scene, depending on what shows up.
