Armed Forces - The Pride of America! (Flex Edition)

[@xiongstondew7749]

At my high school we had our Veterans Day program where we had 3 ensembles perform at the same time. Band, orchestra, and (ensemble I was in) choir. Even though the ensembles performed it a few months ago, it was still really really fun to do it and it makes me sad that I’m leaving as a senior this year.

Greeting from Great Ally Republic of Korea. This is my favorite song since 8th grader :D

Indeed you are a great and beloved Ally.

Last Veterans day at my high school, the band, orchestra, and choir played this. I played the flute part.

[@TAricc]

As a trumpet the triplet notes you hear is difficult to play

[@billofwrights7695]

It’s 2023, and we NEED to find a way of incorporating the Space Force into this medley. I was thinking about adding the first 8 bars of “The Washington Post” after Semper Paratus and leading into Semper Supra in the key of concert F. Also, a good alternate ending would be performing the other half of “America the Beautiful” after the Pledge of Allegiance at a stronger dynamic in place of the national anthem and transitioning perfectly to the fine without a change in the time signature. And please change the lyrics to the Army song; these go along with the Field Artillery March, of which the Army song is based. Here are the actual lyrics: First to fight for the right And to build the nation’s might, And the Army goes rolling along. Proud of all we have done Fighting ‘til the battle’s won And the Army goes rolling along. Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey! The Army’s on it’s way! Count off the cadence, loud and strong! For where-e’er we go, You will always know That the Army goes rolling along!

[@seanhancock6664]

It's so beautiful. I appreciate the work you guys do for us service members.

flute 1 is fun to play 10/10 would recommend

[@jamesbooth7185]

Flute 1 gang!

[@loganm.144]

I'm in band and I play the tuba, and this is my favorite song ever to play

[@andrewyaeger2722]

try basses on a rampage, has the best brass parts i've ever heard (hope it applies to the tuba though i am but a lowly percussionist)

[@jokerstarxiii1247]

I second this

[@kazako749]

hell yeah, tuba gang

[@c4txz0]

I sang this

[@alphasprinkles533]

Logan M. Finally some one agrees with me

[@thetubaprodigy]

amazing

[@generalhilt4531]

I love whistling this song

[@mia-zs4de]

Best band song ever

[@The-Silliest-Ever]

Flute part of this is so fun idk why you can't hear it most places. Some sections the flute doesn't have melody they have really fun parts

[@organsnatcher8395]

I can't remember the specific song but my teacher had us play a match from a guy that I think wrote these I don't remember the details. He put in some crazy flute parts everywhere though and it just fit so well with the brass blasting everything

[@generalhilt4531]

On the 11th of this month, we are playing it but we cut out the Star Spangled banner and I'm not very happy about it. It feels fitting to the song.

[@jaxonthehalloween1812]

It was the same for the community band I'm in

[@Autisticmusician715]

I remember playing with a community band every patriotic season with this as an opener

[@brokemyknee9097]

I play clarinet in this song and it is NOT very fun to play but very nice to listen to 👍

[@babuskaboi5938]

I play the flute in this and that solo killed me

[@TylerBischoff]

Wdym the clarinet part is great

[@mckennahanderson8693]

Tyler Bischoff it’s not 😂

[@TylerBischoff]

Thought Tiana why not

[@mckennahanderson8693]

Tyler Bischoff it’s probably not horrible to play for most but it’s a difficult part that was thrown at me so therefor, I struggle

[@jumphawk8836]

Sad trumpet moment

[@generalhilt4531]

i forgot to take my sheet music when we were finally able to play this :(

[@generalhilt4531]

That must have sucked.

[@seankruszewski1957]

Trumpet is the best

[@latesthope]

Counting rests is a such a pain for me on this song since its fast lol

[@generalhilt4531]

What instrument and part are you?

[@latesthope]

@@generalhilt4531 I figured it out, My band teacher never went over 2/2 but I eventually looked it up myself. I thought at first it was in 4/4. And I play the xylophone part btw

[@generalhilt4531]

​@Nathan I'm currently playing a song where the time signatures change all the time. From measure 72 to measure 100 the signature changes from 2/4 to 3/4 to 4/4 back 2/4 all the way down. Messes me up counting. When we rehearse the measures I'm always a couple bars behind.

[@VictoriaCortes1717]

@@generalhilt4531 6/8 for Air Force confuses me always

[@generalhilt4531]

@victoriacortes1482 I never understood 6/8 in that song. Or in general. They say it's not 3/4 but it is 3/4. Like hello?

[@evanvenegas09]

Y’all saying number - number is amazing but ain’t acknowledging that 5:16 is the og bruh it’s the whole song

[@generalhilt4531]

That's what I've been saying. We cut that part out of the concert I was passed. That's literally the best part. The harmony and the patriotism

[@jaxonthehalloween1812]

My community band is cutting this whole thing I was so sad I loved this part
