Subdeacon Joe Posted July 31, 2021 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
Alpo Posted July 31, 2021 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?

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted August 2, 2021 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.
