[KnifeEdgePass02]

Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this. I found a song I was wondering what it was after hearing it at a show, and I found it here. I joined the site so I could say thanks, and because it looks cool anyways. Thunderbirds? Oh yeah! Anyways, thanks for helping me figure out those songs, and for leading me to this cool site.

[Tailhook]

Updated.

I found a song I was wondering what it was after hearing it at a show, and I found it here.

That's why we do it.

[Kujo]

Line Abreast To Diamond Loop
Sia - "Never Give Up" *NEW 2018*

[Tailhook]

Thanks!

[Kujo]

Small note that as of the recent Melbourne show that they've performed at, it seems as if they've removed that Macklemore track and moved "Never Give Up" to the Line Abreast To Diamond Loop, "Legend" by The Score to the Diamond Roll, and brought back "Remember The Name" for yet another year as the Calypso Pass.

[Arrow]

I would like to send a giant shout out to Kujo for sending us the cut music from the 2018 demonstration. I've flown around with Kujo on the AO for the past week and I have to say that, until now, I haven't seen someone so young conduct themselves in such a competent and professional manner. It's quite phenomenal. His knowledge of the Thunderbird Mission and the Demonstration is stunning. So, a big thank you to Kamamalu "Kujo" Kaleikini for saving us many hours of effort and work.

[Codee66]

Kinda bummed they replaced Ladies and Gentleman for the Diamond takeoff. Its an absolutely perfect song for that. Hopefully they bring it back again like they did a few seasons ago.
