I don't care that it was the marching band. Those were some WEAK trombonists.
On the other hand, kudos to the conductor for ALMOST conducting the grandioso correctly. There was still a vestige of rallentando, which is ALWAYS contradictory to Sousa marches. Yes, even Stars & Stripes. ESPECIALLY Stars & Stripes. Mr. Sousa never slowed the tempo when he performed it.
