-It's a full band arrangement of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".
-It starts out(tuba part): forte/triplets/on low G.
-There's a bassoon solo somwhere in the middle.
-I believe it's in 12/8 for most of the piece.
-The timpanist has some real nice, exposed parts.

This is killing me that I can't remember what it's its called. To add insult to injury, I've played it 4 or 5 times in the last 8 years of so...

American Salute (based on When Johnnie...) or some very similar title

Oh, American Salute...
Brings back memories of stuffy, hot municipal band concerts, played to sleeping old people.
