Stars and Stripes Forever 3 Contra-bassoons

John Phillip Sousa accidentally indicated that the piccolo should play this memorable solo, when actually he meant it should be played on three contrabassoons. You'll like this version better - performed by Jack, Amelia, and Rachel at the Bocal Majority Bassoon Camp 2008.

i play bassoon and my private lesson teacher has played her contra for me before and it sounds really cool but this is just painful to my ears!

[blkaznmartin]

I'm sure it sounds much better live. I don't think I've ever even seen three contrabassoons together at once!

Sorry, there are some things that should be left to the tuba player.
