Sounding great, Steve! What a cool instrument.
Next time play a little of the Liberty Bell March by Sousa. 😆 🎺

Willy,
The Pukaea sound has somewhat of a “woody” character to it. I don’t think that is sound that Sousa was striving for, but I will give it a try. If it works out I’ll come down and rejoin the Florida Keys Concert Band on the Liberty Bell if I can play the First Pukaea Part.
Thanks for the compliment, and please say hello to the rest of the band from me!

That is so cool

Wow! What a rare treat.

Thanks, Stuart. I'm sure Greg Spence appreciates your support. He's come a long way since you knew him. Quite impressive, huh!
You're never too old to get better -- more lessons won't hurt!

@J-Jericho Great article and many things that I did not know!

I would substitute Vincent Bach's Hungarian Melodies for one of the above (I have one in particular in mind).

Here's a very nice performance:

Nice article! The one exception to the boot camp requirement is the “President’s Own” USMC band in Washington.
