"Stars and Stripes Forever" with five piccolos 

The patience, talent, and control it takes to get five piccolos in tune and stay in tune... bravo. As a piccolo player, I applaud you.

All I see is a tuning hell, like how did they get in tune. It is literal magic

Nothing can beat the 94 piccolos.

But how did they get 5 piccolos in tune :O

Our high school band closed it's last concert with this every year. Senior piccolo players lined up at the front of the stage and played the piccolo "solo" first time through the trio. Then all seniors came out front, and we blew the audience back 10 feet with the trio coda full out. I'm sure we piccolos weren't 100% in tune. We were kids, and keeping piccolos in tune is tough for pros. But tears streamed my face my senior year when I did this. It was our good-bye to the band we loved.

I can’t decide if I like the piccolo solo and overall song in the band or orchestral key better

Those piccolos just too cute, 🥰

...and no piccolos were shot in the making of this video. Lol

That was unbelievable cool! So worth the time it must have taken, that was a stunning sound!!!

I am a Korean. In addition, I am a reserve officer for the Korean military. I love America. Stars and Streets Forever march is new, enjoyable, and exciting every time I listen to it. My friend, America, fighting!

Oo my favorite part now has five players!

I could tell the piccolos were blowing as hard as they can

As we say here in England, 'Get in', absolutely nailed it. Fantastic performance by the Piccolo quintet👏👏🎶🎶

the fireworks at the end in the distance 😭😭💜 this was so good omgg

Wow! This is so amazing! Great work! I am a piccolo and flute player myself (:

My old band director hated to have more then one piccolo player. He always told the joke: “how do you get two piccolos to play in tune together?” And we of course would go “gEe hOw dO yOu dO tHaT?” And he would say “you shoot one of them!” Only now do I see that he was wrong. These guys and glad did great.

everytime i hear this i remember my father

ピッコロの音、最高です。演奏に華を添える感じで本当に素敵です。

The piccolo solo is beautiful! Way to go, Courtney Martin and colleagues!

Aren't you magnificent! We should put musicians in charge of everything. Instead of wars, we'd have yearly competitions.

Some things never cease to be brilliant.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful music. I passed it on to my church choir group for the 4th. It is simply fabulous!

So. Good. 😍😍. I’ve heard it’s REALLY hard to get piccolos in tune. And I’m working on playing a piccolo. But it still needs some repairing so I can’t exactly tune. I strive to be that good of a piccolo player. But my fingers can’t even move that fast on a flute. When I’m playing sixteenth notes, I either do them too fast, maybe skip a note kinda, or the fingering isn’t just all there, until I get into the habit of doing them at the right speed. And. Let. Me. Tell. You. I. Do. Not. Have. That. Much. Patience. It gets so frustrating at times.

Beautiful job. What an awesome job in staying in tune together very,very hard. I applaud you!!

Wow beautiful playing

Love it!

Outstanding

Fantastic

This made my 4th… thank you.

Superb!

Y love piccollo and sousaphone.

Loveeeeeeee It! 🪐🌈⭐🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Happy 247th Birthday America!!

ピッコロかっこいい！！

Extraordinary. The piccoloist were very professional.

Really good! And for a band at the is military academy at West Point where you don’t go for a degree in music or with any ease it’s amazingly done.

Oh wow 😳

👏👏👏😊😊😊 WOW!

Veterans Eternal In Our Heaven. Just Ours. Yes. Everyone Included.

Utilizo esta marcha para hacer ejercicios con mancuernas... Tengo 72 años... Médico activo.

They all play on the penny whistle,you can hear them blow.

This is so fuckin lit

The Ancient Spartans would have loved this march. They were marchers themselves. It is said that to see and also to hear their army approaching was terrifying. They wore red cloaks and were singing accompanied by musical instruments.

I fucking love America

Dank piccolo solo at 2:04

Go West Point, beat Navy!!!

Are those pearl piccolos?

If George Washington, the most indispensable man in American history, could hear this incredible march I suspect that it would bring a smile to his face, and perhaps a tear to his eyes. God bless America.

2:00 - The guy in the 3rd row of audience, very bottom left hand corner of the screen: That moment When you’ve been B.S.’ing with your buddy the whole concert, and you realize it’s time for the piccolo ensemble, which your girlfriend is first chair!

b r a v i

Still sounded better in 2012 with just the one, imo.

*JUST SAY ARMONIC*

It's wond'll

Sounds like something from a parade

Does "West Point Band" mean "made up of cadets from the United States Military Academy"? Some of these people are a little old to be cadets, although they are all evidently members of the United States Army. Some of them could be faculty from the USMA.

Thanks, 　世界的レベルの演奏です。　日本人の演奏は、譜面どうりに演奏すれば、それで良し、としています。

This was my solo.. One thing.. I hated is exactly what people are doing in this video.. Clap 👏 pisses me offf lol. Just enjoy it.. Dayyumm

Five picolos? Yikes!! There couldn't have been an intact eardrum in the auditorium by the end of the piece. There is a reason that piccolo players wear earplugs when practicing or performing.

too far

The conductor is facing away the band not doing any good.

these are not picolo flutes. picolo has no flaps
