    If this movie wasn’t the box office joke that it was, I believe that this march would have been one of the most well known and most performed works by John Williams, as opposed to somewhat of an afterthought.
    Like Bernstein’s Candide Overture (which also was the music to a flop), it practically saves the movie from complete oblivion. I can’t think of a better concert opener. One tempo from start to finish (as opposed to Raiders March or Star Wars Main Theme) and light, fresh and fun. Reminds me of Morton Gould’s American Salute.
    I wish this were performed more.

    2) Jealous that they can't play as well as the President's Own,

    5) Without a soul, or
