LOL! At that speed, it should be called The Gladiators‘ Galop! I just love the whistles and percussions. You cannot hear that particular arrangement and not smile!

[@xsiunnu]

One of my favorite marches! And the tempo is perfect!!! Thank you! Go army!

[@dgetz101]

What's a Circus? Ratchet (to put up the tent) , whistle (ringmaster), slide whistle and car horns (clowns).
Fun performance!

[@GaryBeisbier3705]

Seriously dude? Just enjoy the music.

[@punklover99]

I thought they'd play it as a serious marching song. Subverted my expectations in the best way

"loosing a war to vietnam" theme

[@linyoung6646]

My life is a lie: this isnt called the clown song

[@ZOV4VZO13OVZ7]

GARBAGE.

[@edwardswanzey7595]

Disappointing performance. Venue not good or recording - lack of separation of voices. Dynamics almost absent. And what the hell happened to the snare and bass drums?
come on guys, you can do much better!!!! I steadfastly remain your fan! But I spent too much time as a bandsman - - - -

[@matthewsaxman6662]

Umm... maybe you commented on the wrong video?

[@zzzut]

There’s always an expert.
