Album: It's Not Sousa, volume 2

March: Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Sounds like a small band to me, with perhaps even just one tuba. GREAT playing. Gutsy, lots of core and energy. EXCELLENT time in the march, with a great DRIVE.

Take a bow, whomever you are.

It was a full-sized concert band of about 65-70 with three tubas.

Well... One person is VERY nicely present.

Or, possibly 3 tubas so well in tune and rythmically precise as to sound as one?
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

You know, I'm just not sure about that. This entire track sounds VERY much to me like a small band, one on a part, even just one tuba.
