    For those who remember the 70's/80's group The Captain and Tenille, Darryl Dragon was the Captain (who just passed away). Darryl's dad was Carmen Dragon, producer of this fabulous arrangement.

    I have performed that arrangement many times over the years. It is like an old friend to hear. Thank you Santa Monica HS.

    Very, very nice. I listen to this arrangement every year around the 4th of July. I first played it at age 16 in S.C. All State Band in 1970. I was first chair, second trumpet. It gives me chills every time.

    Very advanced for a high school group. Very good sound and very emotionally performed. Great job!

    What is the instrument called that the young lady is playing the 4th from the right? It’s played by the sixth person on the first row and the sitting next to the fourth oboe player.

      English Horn

      Michael Peterson Thanks. I had been wondering what that instrument was called. I meant next to the third oboe player and the sixth flute player.

    The bells/chimes part is way too quiet. This kid needs to learn how to play before he gets on the instruments
