Happy Birthday USA!

This 8-year old image of mine has special meaning to me. As my UHH username implies, I was a professional flutist, who in retirement, loves photography. During a portion of my career, I was a US Army bandsman stationed at West Point as a member of the United States Military Academy Band. The Sousa march, 'Stars and Stripes Forever' was my favorite march, probably because of the famous piccolo solo. I estimate I played it at least 400 times! So, Happy Birthday USA! CHEERS!

No, no, no, no, no.
It's the trombone countermelody with the piccolo descant in the last strain!

Actually, it seemed like 400 times year - for 6 years. And yes, the trombones really make it work! Goose bumps!
