    My husband is a professional bassoonist and I'm a professional violinist, and THIS is FANTASTIC!!! We're close to the Air Force Academy and this is such an AWESOME cadre of musicians!! His "student teacher" Brian O'Donnell is now conducting for the Air Force in Germany!

    • @benrogers4613
      @benrogers4613 5 років тому +8

      If it helps, treble clef has a middle "B" as Alto clef has middle "C". So the middle of the treble clef is your first finger on your "A" string!

      It's a song from our Civil War in the 1800's. The lyrics are about wishing that the soldiers will come home safely.
      When Johnny comes marching home again,
      Hurrah! Hurrah!
      We'll give him a hearty welcome then
      Hurrah! Hurrah!
      The men will cheer and the boys will shout
      The ladies they will all turn out
      And we'll all be glad when Johnny comes marching home.
      The old church bell will peal with joy
      Hurrah! Hurrah!
      To welcome home our darling boy,
      Hurrah! Hurrah!
      The village lads and lassies say
      With roses they will strew the way,
      And we'll all be glad when Johnny comes marching home.
      Get ready for the Jubilee,
      Hurrah! Hurrah!
      We'll give the hero three times three,
      Hurrah! Hurrah!
      The laurel wreath is ready now
      To place upon his loyal brow
      And we'll all be glad when Johnny comes marching home.
      Let love and friendship on that day,
      Hurrah, hurrah!
      Their choicest pleasures then display,
      Hurrah, hurrah!
      And let each one perform some part,
      To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
      And we'll all be glad when Johnny comes marching home

      Also, the USAF doesn't have a rank called, sergeant. It begins at SSgt, TSgt, MSgt, SMSgt, CMSgt. The only time you wouldn't greet an AF NCO as sergeant is if they were a Chief Master Sergeant, in which case they would be greeted as Chief.
