-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...

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