Excellent! I really liked the inclusion of a Bass Clarinet. The accelerato at the end was very cool as well. Thank you to the entire United States of America Military personal for your selfless SUPREME service to our country!!!

If I had a nickel for every time my late ma played this on accordion, I'd surely have a room full of nickels! I miss you Ma!!

In the late 1960s, I heard the U.S. Navy Band perform this - with 4 tubas! And they took the "presto", too!

[@debbiegreen1682]

now the 257th can play this in Syria and they will think Rommel is coming again

[@cbm2156]

Don't think Rommel every made it to Syria. He tired but came up short.

[@christineklammer8377]

This Polka is NOT German!!!!! It was composed by Slavko Avsenik, a Slowenian Jazz Professor! There is no connection with Rommel at all!

[@jeanwnuk8727]

Polka klarynet

[@Marco-bf4uu]

Do they realize that Polka is german folk music? This is like us germans playing Soviet marches

[@christineklammer8377]

This piece of music is not!!!! German at all! It is Slovenian, composed by Slavko Avsenik, a jazz professor! By the way, polka is a Polish dance. Think - or google - before you write 👩‍🎓 !

[@vladimirprzygodzki6691]

It is « polka dziadek » its polish

[@vladimirprzygodzki6691]

@@christineklammer8377 slavko is not a jazz man at all and this piece is from poland

[@pizzacolonia]

Technically well played but where is the Polka spirit???

[@GospodinJean]

The polka spirit is represented by that lady clapping hands

[@pizzacolonia]

@@GospodinJean well.....

[@bobhelmich711]

Pretty good for an ARMY band, But they arn't as great as Carl's Country Dutchman or The Mississippie Vally Dutchman.
