Four Corner Salute: Goosebump Effect

What else comes close to raising the hair on your arms and back of your neck? What else takes the breath from your lungs and makes your heart dip like those four notes?
For me it's two things: The start of taps at a military funeral (or ceremony where vets are gathered and KIAs honored) and hearing Reagan deliver the "surly bonds of earth" line from his Challenger speech.
What you got?

I like listening to gangster rap while we pour 40 ounces of beer on our fallen homey. If that doesnt get you, nothing will.

Four corner salute for me as well. Also every time I hear "we'll put a boot in your arse it's the American way."

Reagan's "surly bonds of earth" line from his Challenger speech.
Reagan was quoting ‘High Flight,’ a sonnet written by John Gillespie Magee who was a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War. He went to Britain, flew in a Spitfire squadron, and was killed at the age of nineteen on 11 December 1941 during a training flight from the airfield near Scopwick.
"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, – and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless falls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor eer eagle flew –
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God."

I get all choked up on fly-overs. The sound, the smell of the jet fuel, the symbolism gets me every time. However, when those horns ring out the first notes of "The Call to the Faithful"...there is nothing better!

Being a paramedic for 17 yrs- "Amazing Grace" via the bagpipes at a public safety funeral. Can't even imagine those post 9/11 ones. The first four of "hold that tiger"- beautiful. And seriously, because I grew up with it, I love the CBS college football theme.

When Lee Greenwood sang "God Bless the USA" in first home game after 9/11.
Watching emotional Olympic Medal winners on the stands when National Anthem is played.
The anticipation leading up to, and then the actual return - of soldiers to their families from Afghanistan or Iraq deployments....
TGBFTL's marching drum cadence down Victory Hill/N.Stadium Drive, especially for the home opener and/or a very big game.....
As far as Pre Game, what always starts my goosebumps is the drum major's last few steps to mid-field and his signal to start the drum cadence before the Four Notes.... and then each section of DV's reactions when the salute is directed toward them...

You really need the experience from on the field as a band member, that effect is both hair raising and literrally hits you like a physical shove by someone and that is from the 67K model.

I watched the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknowns in Arlington Cemetery last summer. I don't have the words to describe how that feels.
