I was a head-rocker as a child and this was an excellent piece of music to rock your head to. It's also great to blast out the car windows when tooling around Santa Cruz (only I used a more digital version recorded in the 21st century). You know, if a circus tent caught fire, the circus band was supposed to play this to make people evacuate in an orderly fashion. That's not a joke, btw. It's a circus tradition since the big circus era of the early 1900's.

[@mq172]

Indeed I have heard of this tradition. But when circus tents were waterproofed with highly flammable *parrafin*, there generally wasn't time to be orderly about anything in a fire, and any circus band member would likely have prudently fled at the first sign of flames. Actor (and 70s gay TV icon) Charles Nelson Reilly told his harrowing tale of narrowly avoiding death in such a life-changing circus tent fire in his youth.

With the power of The Horned Serpent, these Alternates will be evicted from reality once and for all.

[@slushpump2338]

Two interesting musical points here. Musical Point No. 1. The first time through the trio (and also underlying the piccolo solo) it sounds to me like there are non-stop arpeggios in the woodwinds - possibly adding a harp part - which are NOT in any published edition of "Stars & Stripes" that I've played, or am aware of. Of course, it's well known that the published editions of Sousa marches were very fully scored, to facilitate their performance by bands of all sizes with widely varying instrumentations. And that in his own performances, Sousa would tweak that instrumentation -e.g., having the woodwinds or brasses lay out for a particular strain. (Sousa was too good of a musician and play his own marches fortissimo straight through!) But these arpeggios sound like something entirely new. Perhaps tracking an arrangement for orchestra? Anyway, I like it - and it's very interesting to hear! Musical Point No. 2 - the use of a suspended cymbal - not crash cymbals - in the break strain (or "dogfight," in band slang) after the trio. Again, not something in the published scores (I believe).
