    Second Violins behaving, well

    This is an interesting clip, I think he's in the back of the second violins, nice playing and wonderful organ in the background

    And for this, which is rather unremarkable except for their name, which I love (let's not harp on it)

    Stars and Stripes like you've never heard it.

    This is quite hilarious, and I just couldn't pick the tune out easily due to the low pitches (bitches?)

    Clarinets, wow, playing T&F. What an unusual idea. Nice squeak at 2:35.

    The Stars and Stripes Forever was very hard to identify for quite a while. I agree with you, David...some things are just wrong. Some music is better suited to particular instruments. Mat, that "squeak" cracked me up! All in all, it was very
