Okay...it's between two marches (which will please Gord to no end!!) which I played and love. The first one is "The Voice of the Guns" and the second one is "Washington Post", both which I still have memorized oddly enough!
P.S. For those who don't appreciate marches then my choice would be the "1812 Overture " which I played when in BTTB...Played under Boris Brott. We had real cannons too! It was a great closer...after the last chord was played by us, the fireworks started. This would be fun to do again....

Some of you may remember (how could we forget?) Instant Concert..
