Arranged by Master Sgt. Gregory Ridlington

That was comical giving the piccolo solo to the bari.

[@murica4evs]

Yeah, imagine the Tuba having it!

[@Baritocity]

@@murica4evs Luckily, it's been done! The arranger of yesterday's tuba quartet version (Dave Werden) has an audio clip on his own channel where his quartet surprised the Coast Guard band. Searching for "euphoniums and tubas do piccolo part" should yield the video.

[@murica4evs]

@@Baritocity I think I might check that out. As a Tubist myself, I relish when we get the melody

[@natheniel]

I think one famous brass quintet (Canadian?) did exactly that, giving it to tuba

[@landoncooper4708]

Soprano Sax? Not piccolo

[@youtubebanddirector]

That bari player did it better than most piccolo players!

[@Evilautumndevil]

I'm an alto player and by the alto sax performance I can tell he had pride and glory playing his part.

[@ovguy38]

What a wonderful and unexpected surprise bari solo! Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!

[@manondumouchel5298]

What a pleasure to hear every musical instrument playing this wonderful piece of music .. this is absolutely very great I love so much this .. thank you to all

[@citroen0867]

I don't think you know what every musical instrument means...

[@manondumouchel5298]

@@citroen0867 every day he had different musicians who played Sousa The Stars and Stripes Forever with different musical instruments and it was exceptional

[@swayme67]

Mighty fine work!!! Loved the bari sax doing the piccolo line...brilliant!

I’m a baritone sax player and was blown away with the piccolo part played by the bari player. Is the arrangement available?

[@TMFgun3r]

I myself play bari and would love to see the arrangement on this piece. Not too often do we get something like that

[@deadmemes986]

I just love how they gave the piccolo solo to the bari

[@murica4evs]

I love Soprano Saxophone!

[@guyfrohling5605]

Totally expecting the soprano to do the piccolo part and hear the bari doing it better than expected

[@tylersmith232]

I play bari sax, just bought my own cannonball, that was absolutely impressive and literally made my day, I wish I saw this sooner!!

Very clean, also very funny bari sax piccolo solo 😂

[@fhs2013cb]

Well done gentlemen, and may I said I loved the bari sax playing the piccolo solo bravo

[@marije179]

I'm a brass player and I usually don't like woodwinds that much, especially saxes (bc c'mon you're sooo close to a brass intrument, might as well switch: ;) ) but wow I listened this 'till the end with joy. Such beautiful colors!!

[@guyfrohling5605]

I actually switched from trombone to Bari sax and don't regret it for a second

[@georgeherring7370]

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing!

Precision! Soprano saxes are supposed to be the most difficult to control. All of these guys are great.

Even better would be with a bass or contrabass sax.

[@joewhite5803]

Piccolo solo, bruh.

[@jackotherstar]

Was I the only one who couldn’t hear the tenor at all?

[@number-1-Saxman]

All four parts are easy to hear.

[@abigayleamazingYT]

No my friend only heard it like 1 minute threw

[@markflopresti]

Was thinking the same.

[@paulroutledge4923]

Maybe not as loud for my liking in the last strain mainly but the tenor can be heard.

[@HelloooThere]

Ok

[@드넓은세상]

[@random_kid453]

So basically if the soprano saxophone player was a clarinet player, no one would notice the difference- Everyone can agree that a soprano sax is just a clarinet with saxophone fingerings

[@MeMyselfI__]

No we can’t all agree
