Andre Rieu in Australia. 76 Trombones...

[DFDalton1962]

While I understand a lot of American musicals are popular in the English speaking world, I didn't think "The Music Man" was known at all outside of the U.S. It's so laden with Americana (it's set in a small town in Iowa around the 4th of July) - the most of any musical I know other than "1776". It seems very odd for a French band to be playing it in Australia.

This guy is certainly a great showman - a Cecil B De Mille of music.

Just what the audience need to get them in the mood for some beautiful music.

If you think starting this song with 76 Trombones, now what you need is ending it with Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever

What the f*** have stars and stripes to do with this

[AllenJBlodgettJrmota]

i think i meant to if you start the concert with 76 Trombones, you should end the concert with Stars and Stripes Forever

[SteveAndrewLangford]

It's very obvious what you meant, the guy is crazy.

[AllenJBlodgettJrmota]

I watched the dvd a few weeks ago, it actually does end w/ stars and stripes...

@AllenJBlodgettJrmota Maybe - if he was performing in America. But he wasn't - he was in Australia, so if he was to end it with a march out, it should be with an Australian themed march out - NOT the Stars and Stripes, which we don't even really know!!

@roseanne74 good thing he didnt march out to Stars & Stripes then isnt it. This is from the musical "The music man"
