Here's an interesting version of SASF with singers on the trio. Very nicely done by the US Army Field Band. The five piccolo players sound like one!

Re: Stars and Stripes Forever with vocal
Well done, but isn’t that trio really the tune for a song like all good trios melodies should be?
I would be more impressed, if the vocalists did the piccolo solo a la Bobby McFerrin. And no, I don’t want it done in the original octave.
On a side note:
I cannot access the site of the US Army Field Band, which surprises me, as it is a .com address rather than .mil.

I can't imagine why it shouldn't work for you. Maybe you added U.S.?
Bearin' up!

Same address as I used. Progress bar still doesn’t move beyond the first step (5% or so).
Years back I had the same problem with the site of the DC Marine Band. Back then I was told that the cause was my very tight firewall, which prevents me from being pingable.

Re: Stars and Stripes Forever with vocal
It is my understanding that Mr. Sousa wrote the words himself...after the the march was composed. The Trio tune is original as opposed to a borrowed melody.
