Sousa: The Stars and Stripes Forever 

Neal Corwell
Most aspects of performance are self-explanatory, like most marches. Observe dynamics. The Trio theme should be soft, but clear and with energy. Be sure to be solid and strong, not strained and "squeaky" on the high B-flats (or F and G-flats) in middle of Trio. The ascending arpeggios leading to these higher notes must be clean, clear and in control (i.e.. in exact rhythm).
