Reply #22: The best part is the piccolo solo near the end...

We saw a U.S. Marine band perform it, and the piccolo player stood up and marched like a 1-man army to the front of the stage, and methodically, precisely shifted his piccolo into position like it was a rifle - and the rest of his body, face and eyes were perfectly motionless, got the piccolo into position with extreme precision, played the solo including the extended trill ending with the high note, then precisely flipped the piccolo back down to a resting position, lowered his arm like an audio-animatronic robot, then marched back to his seat and sat down - and got a standing ovation. It was pretty amazing, no matter what your opinion is of the song or the Marines.
