Piccolo part for Stars and Stripes
Does anyone have a piccolo part for the Star Spangled Banner written for tuba?

The marine band has posted all the parts of the march for free, you can google it. What I did was took the piccolo part and just transcribed it to the tuba.

There is a link that may work, tell me if it doesn't.

Worked for me! By the way, why the name DiveBomber? I'm a bit of an airplane nerd, so I'm curious...

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Piccolo part for Stars and Stripes
Yes, much like the "bears balancing on a tightrope" act. Bears are pretty nimble and are known to be nimble but the humor comes from the anticipation that the bear will goof up and fall off the tightrope. Same with tuba on piccolo part. It's not so difficult for a tuba player to do but oh, so funny, if the tuba player screws it up.windshieldbug wrote:bloke wrote:Do you need it in G, then...or are you playing it with a band (A-flat) ?

I don't think so. Homey Don't Play That.
Re: Piccolo part for Stars and Stripes
The scary part, for me, is that after all these years of griping about sharp-keyed marches, the orchestra version in D (not G) is starting to look more natural than the Ab. I guess I need to play in more bands.bloke wrote:Do you need it in G, then...or are you playing it with a band (A-flat) ?
Re: Piccolo part for Stars and Stripes
I was referring to the tuba parts. I agree with you that the piccolos should be playing the piccolo part.bloke wrote:Originally, wind bandsmen played Db piccolos, and this solo (sounding in A-flat) WAS in G for the piccolo players.
