      4. I will introduce An Army Medley with Jim Ferguson soloing.
      5. I will introduce Army Goes Rolling long version.
      6. If Russ makes it, I will ask him to do one last intro for GBTUSA.  If not, I will do the intro.
      7. We end with WPATC and a rousing Beat Navy AND THEN EXIT OFF STAGE
   7. Circa 1915:  We will depart the stage to the front entrance.  If you wish, walk back to your car if not, a shuttle bus will once again gather us up.
