"Simple Gifts" - Inauguration Day
Video by Les Owen
4:22
My friend Mark Wood, a great trumpet player and a great photographer asked me to create a video montage using images he took on Inauguration Day 2009. I chose the Frank Ticheli arrangement of "Simple Gifts" as the music. The United States Army Ceremonial Band recorded this particular performance for the video. I used Mark's photos, as well as others, to tell the story of that day. I built the story line around the music and incorporated excerpts of President Obama's speech that I felt spoke to the hopes of all of us that day. The video became part of a multi-media live performance by The United States Army Ceremonial Band.

The U.S. Army Band's primary mission is to support military honors funerals in Arlington National Cemetery.

Every Inauguration requires a Joint Military Service parade rehearsal on the streets of Washington, D.C. Here is the U.S Army Band's rehearsal for President Obama's second Inauguration Parade.
