I really love "Bugler's Holiday" as well! At my suggestion, my husband created an a cappella version for his own barbershop quartet to sing and record.

This is the speed at which it really should be played.

Military band clip playing here

Here's a version played by double-bell euphoniums, if you can believe that.

Thanks for the clips..IIRC, Anderson also was the arranger for the famed Pops medley of the 5 military branch service songs that use to be a feature of most Pops concerts. I remember attending one in the 70’s..Fiedler conducting..and as each tune was played, everyone in the audience who had served in that particular branch would jump up and sing it loudly and proudly.
