A very stellar arrangement, but there are three main things I would love to change about this medley. #1: With the addition of the Space Force in 2019, and the adaptation of the official USSF march in 2022, it should be presented as part of this medley. The first few bars of the Washington Post march would directly precede the Space Force song, performed in the key of concert F. #2: Those are not the correct lyrics to the Army song. Those words were taken from John Philip Sousa’s Field Artillery March, whose trio was the direct inspiration for the Army march. That being said, the official song of the US Army is “The ARMY Goes Rolling Along.” #3: If a group chooses to exclude “The Star-Spangled Banner” from a performance of this piece, maybe craft an alternate ending with the whole of “America the Beautiful” leading straight into the coda. And a bonus feature: Add an organ to the score for the national anthem, or consolidate the entire score so it can be suitable for solo organ.
Hi, it’s me. It’s an hour until I play this for the Memorial Day concert. I was given this music a couple days ago. Let’s see how this goes.
It went fine mostly.
great!
I played it for Memorial Day 2024. Went fine for me too 👍🏻
I LIVE FOR THE AMERICAN SPIRIT BABY 🦅 🇺🇸
