It could be me who knows?

We were preparing to play a well known piece of music (John Phillip Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever) and the Conductor said to the band,"Allright let's pick it up from the "Dogfight"

Puzzled me and my 3rd part counterparts looked at each other as there is no marking on our music that indicates just where one finds the "Dogfight"

I know where to find one in Detroit; but that's another story!

No one wanted to look dumb so we just waited for the band to start playing so we could figure out where this is.

I now know that the "Dogfight" is where everyone in the band is doing something in this piece just a bit different and all hell is breaking loose. Mainly it seems to be a fight between the Piccolo Flutes and the Trumpets and the Low Brass.

I'm not sure what to properly call this part of the March but I think it would be the 3rd Stanza?????

Conductors and their sayings.......
