Yeah surprised no one said closer of Greensleeves. Well my mom was disappointed when they dropped it.

I liked the more sprightly tempo in 78.  It got kind of funeral dirgey in 79.  But I know they were slowing it down so that long roll was AFTER the gun went off. 😂

Mom was into brass choir sounds as she was in the church choir for years. One year horn line did a hymn at our stand still show to fill in the time. Later in the year she wondered why it wasn’t in the show. Had to explain that was a warm up number. 🥵

I wish I’d marched that year.  But we had a pretty good line in 78, too. 

I loved the 1978 Guardsmen show, great great music, and obviously great CG.

I was never a fan of Greensleeves, you nailed it with too "funeral dirgy", but the tag signature to close the 1979 show was outstanding, a reprise of "Henry V".

I thought for sure you were going to say El Gato Triste.

I had a couple of Oakland Crusader and Seneca Optimist songs in mind.
