Veterans Day trombone ensemble salute to Armed Forces

Post by Mikebmiller »

Patrick Sullivan put together this fantastic arrangement of an armed forces medley and recruited 36 current and former military bonists to play it. I had a blast being part of this.

Does the Space Force March have words yet?

Probably once the Space Force has some veterans in it! Right now they are all green, or are technically Air Force veterans.

It's difficult to sing about an the great deeds your force has done when, well ... How about this:

"We're a Force in Spaaaaaaace! We've launched, like, ONE sat-uh-liiite!
We're a Force in Spaaaaaaace! Dreaming dreams while we sleep tight!
We let SpaceX do our durtee-work....
Or maybe send our pilots forth from the soil of our foes
Yes we mean Russiaaaaaa
We're a Force in Spaaaaaaaace!"

It might need some polishing. But, that's a 95% solution so far!

*The ribbing of fellow branches is a time honored tradition that dates back to the creation of whatever the second service was after the Army. Even though we know the Merchant Marines came first, we just ignore them all together.

They have Steve Carell for a commanding general. Al least on Netflix.

Guy Terry is in that. Plays trombone with the big band, Joshua Experience, that I play with in DFW.
