With military precision

Just a really nerdy USAF question: when I served, you could never have worn fatigues for anything like a presentation, only dress blues or 1505's at the most casual (that gives you an idea of how far back I go). The one that really gets me though is that camouflage fatigues (cammies) could never be worn outside the appropriate theater, e.g. jungle fatigues in SEA (my uniform), winter fatigues in say Alaska or Minot, ND (where they threatened to send us if we were bad). Nowadays I'll see camouflage fatigues at the grocery store and there isn't even a base within 15 miles of here. Are they hoping to hide in the produce department? You guys sound great. The bass trombone looks an awful like a MSgt bass player that appeared with the Band of the Pacific Quartet in Dallas in 2017 or so (maybe earlier). At any rate, while I'm not going to say "Thanks for your service" because it makes me crazy every time someone says that to me the way someone says "Gesundheit" when you sneeze, but I'll think it in my heart. Play on, Zoomies. Like to see the Marines, USN, or Army play with this kind of musicianship. They can't (maybe because of the lousy food).

How Would i get the music for this?

Just look at Moondance by John Stevens. But it was originally written for tuba so it was perfect choice for this quartet.
