Re: Sousa and other Marching music

Hey Dale, that looks like a great group in Huntsville and am glad you have one going down south. Wish I played that well! Anyway our group of choice is the Brass Band of Battle Creek and we have gone to all of their concerts for years and buy the cd's. I am sure you are familiar with them. They guested at our Christmas concert in 03 and and were a big hit in Kalamazoo. We are having them back this Dec and everyone is looking forward to that. I have heard the River City Brass and they are great, also. I agree, all marches would put me over the edge, also. Our prior conducter, who did the band for 25 yrs, once programmed almost a whole program of band arrangements of waltz's. Even had a couple of ball room dances. Needless to say, no one enjoyed those weeks and that recording is on my no-play list. Enjoy your knowledgeable posts.
