🎙 Recordings

These recordings are useful for referencing in your own practice. Some may be faster than you’re ready to play, and that’s okay. They’re still useful.

Recordings from SIC2

Stars and Stripes Forever

The original Stars and Stripes Forever starts off in the key of E♭ and then changes to A♭ at the trio. This page put up by the Marine Band has a bunch of history on the march as well as all of its parts and a fantastic reference recording (also on their YouTube and other streaming platforms)

Many instruments have a chunk from the introduction to the march and then the trio at some point in SIC2. Most are transposed to a different key. I’ve transposed (and slowed down) the Marine Band recording and cut it to the last instance of the trio.
