Largo et andante

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.

Thank you

Several readers have emailed me in private thanking me for the photo report on Margraten Cemetery I made. The pleasure is all mine.
