Program Notes

This patriotic medley begins with You're a Grand Old Flag and includes all of the official songs of the United States armed forces. In order they are Anchors Aweigh, The Army Goes Rolling Along, The U.S. Air Force, The Marines' Hymn, and Semper Paratus. The majestic march-like tempo is consistent throughout until the snare drum roll that precedes the national anthem.
