byline Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 So they are Americans then? Personally I think if you are an American you are an American. I have never considered myself a Scottish American...ALWAYS an AMERICAN!!! Yes, they are American. And yes, sometimes I get a little tired of the hyphenated American. But I think the poster's point had to do with the incredible diversity just in that one quartet . . . who, by the way, did a marvelous performance in brutally cold conditions! Not your usual concert-hall atmosphere, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDale Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The fanfare I heard was played by both the 1973 and 1977 Racine Kilties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornsUp Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The fanfare I heard was played by both the 1973 and 1977 Racine Kilties. That fanfare originally came from the herald trumpets of one of the Scottish Regimental bands, and was probably written for the Edinburgh Tattoo around 1960. It was played by the U.S.A.F. Academy enlisted drum corps in 1967-68 to introduce their Scottish Medley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityrabbit Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Stranger still, since Canada is part of America. Any place that gave us Maynard Ferguson is cool with me, eh. Also, as far as playing in the cold, I had this happen New Years Eve. My trumpet froze. I have been playing in my little town's "Ring in the Arts" for the last few years as a street performer. Just stand on a corner on Main St. and play little diddies. I pulled out a valve and found ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
