Can someone *please* tell whichever military band was playing the Star-Spangled Banner and the Wilhelmus, the Dutch national anthem, at Margraten Cemetery today that you're not supposed to play the jazzy versions at a commemoration service? Both anthems have rather stately melodies, but by the time they got to 'And the rocket's red glare' I was actually ready to get out the party hats.
Not that it wasn't uplifting.
