Bugler’s Holiday on my mind

I recognize many of the musicians from my days of freelancing in San Francisco–what fun!

There are certain pieces of music that I have to revisit periodically for a variety of reasons.

“Bugler’s Holiday” by Leroy Anderson is one that I’ve loved ever since I first played it in junior high school band.

I also loved it during my college years and I still loved it whenever it was programmed on pops concerts when I was a professional flutist.

There are two main reasons why I loved it: it was so much fun to play and it always made me happy.

In fact, I’m fully in agreement with this commenter from YouTube:
This is the song I listen to whenever I need to be cheered up. It is my “Happy Song.”

I had to include this video because of the amazing tempo and the TWELVE incredible soloists!
