It's a week of military band music on my YouTube channel. Here is one I posted a couple of days ago. Great sound for a record that is 110 years old I think.

Nice! Very crisp, clean playing. They managed to squeeze over four minutes onto the record side, too, including repeats and da capo. Thanks for posting!

You are most welcome. Diamond discs easily hold 4 minutes on a side. So it's nice to hear a longer piece
