Subdeacon Joe Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The other day I watched a Women's Floor Ex in which the gymnast had set the first part of her routine to Tocata and Fugue In D Minor. That got me thinking that I would like to see some set to a little Sousa. Maybe Or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 SEEMS to me there needed to be more members to that there band. Got two basoons and a bass clarinet, and only have two flutes? I know Sousa is a marching band, and is heavy on the big brass. But there's a lot of woodwind in his stuff that you need to be able to hear.

Pat Riot Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 All I could think of was the scene from The Dirty Dozen where Donald Sutherland was pretending to be a General reviewing the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I'd say it's mostly musicians -- and especially those of us who were in high school band -- who hear the several parts, distinct and separate, while we are hearing them together. Absolutely gorgeous, thank you, Subdeacon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Stars and Stripes always gets to me. Upsets the wife,though. She always has trouble with the picc part in the Grandioso. I've only heard her attempt it once in45+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
