This is a demonstration version of a sequence based on a Concert Band version of the "Armed Forces Salute"; a tribute to those who serve to protect this great country of ours, The United States of America. The COMPLETE version of this arrangement features the official songs of the U.S. Army (The Caisson Song); Coast Guard (Semper Paratus); Marines (Marines Hymn); Air Force (The Wild Blue Yonder) and the Navy (Anchors Aweigh). Original arrangement by Robert Lowden. All parts were individually scored for Symphonic Concert Band using Freestyle & Performer Sequencing Software, and a Korg X5DR Synthesizer.

Note: This sequence can be used with non-GM synths by loading it into a sequencer and re-assigning the Program Change and MIDI Channel data to meet the requirements of your equipment.
