Description
This stunning work celebrates the men and women, past and present, who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Jerry Brubaker was the Chief Music Arranger with the United States Navy Band in Washington, D.C. Using mostly original material, Brubaker uses snippets of the various U.S. Armed Forces anthems to bring this wonderful tribute to life. The primary melody of Proudly They Served is singable, respectful, and memorable. The tune comfortably welcomes segments of all the major service songs as they make their appearance throughout. First performed by Rancho Cordova (CA) River City Concert Band, Proudly They Served makes a perfect selection for Memorial Day, Veterans Day, or any concert with a patriotic theme. (4:46)
