If that doesn't get your heart going, you're probably dead.

[garrett]

When they started singing I got serious goosebumps, that was amazing.

Imagine being the cymbal guy’s neighbor

Imagine having enough money to buy a full set of timpanis

"Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever."

How have I gone 31 years and not known that this ever had any lyrics? I've never heard it performed that way.

[AutumnRainneMusic]

My brother was a Navy band musician. He played Memorial Day concerts. He became a music teacher and led the kids in the school band marching down the street. Anchors Away from brother, the Army vet.

I just want to understand how the dog didn't even move during Piccolo's solo...

[stevethompson]

It is amazing that they were able to coordinate this from 70 different locations and all be in tempo!!!

[fsantosneto]

The piccolo snippet in this piece is something fantastic and unparalleled in the entire repertoire of world music.

The piccolo part was kick ass! And those are the most decorated barracks/on-post housing I have ever seen.

[chuckstarwar]

Hooray for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever.
The gem of the land and the sea,
ever hoist it proud and high.
All nations remember the day
when our fathers with mighty endeavor
proclaimed as they marched to the fray
that by their might and by their right, it waves forever.
