So many of you that helped make it a successful mb season by preparing food, donating water and supplies, volunteering your time to help with uniforms and/or the tailgate - we couldn't do this without you!

However that didnt happen and the song ultimately came to be used by the Wehrmacht which is why it is classified amongst German marching songs as well. Thank you to our mb staff: Ashley Quick- Drossart, Abby Gamache, Shaun McDonnell and Nicole Prewett as well as Jacki Mrakitsch, Jen Esch and Mrs. Gray.
