  • my friend not evn full year player and he plays the flute pretty well. hes trying to play this version of the song. any ways u think he can accomplish it? i support him in his effort all the way.

  • @peepzstar Practice, practice, practice. Or you could search for an arrangement that simplifies the piccolo part; maybe a middle school arrangement.

  • Does the Marine Band have a "full orchestra" like the other branches or are they strictly marching band?

  • @david640 The Marine Band includes a "chamber orchestra" of about 18 string players. Most of their performances are at the White House. Go to the Marine Band website for more information.

    

  • How long do they play for? And when is Mr. Sousa birthday? I would really love to go and see them.

  • @YouMooks November 6 is Sousa's birthday. The band played three marches plus the National Anthem. Their portion of the event lasted about 30 minutes. Check the band's website for exact times, etc.

  • Thank you! That was awesome!

  • That was the cleanest piccolo solo I have ever heard played for this song! Even the trills were clear and the solo never sounded rushed, nor slurred! Awesome!
