God bless that piccolo player doing ‘Stars and Stripes’. I’ve played that many times and it’s NOT easy. LOL!

Love that song and the band sound great!

Have you ever heard the story of Meredith Wilson (the Music Man? He played piccolo in Sousa's Band.
The two piccolo players came forward to front of stage for their soli. There they were greeted by a VERY large woman in the front row. When they took their instruments to lips she lifted an oversize pair of binoculars pointing it at them. Wilson said the band had to play through the proceeding section three times before they could stop laughing and play their part..... Can't listen to it played without thinking of his experience. Wonderful speaker,so many great stories.
