Music For Gymnastics Floor Exercise (fixed the video)

[Subdeacon Joe]

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

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.

All I could think of was the scene from The Dirty Dozen where Donald Sutherland was pretending to be a General reviewing the troops.

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!

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.
