Again, you grasp only a part, Grasshopper!  Not Suppe' versus Sousa, but Suppe' AND Sousa!

THEN you hear them "together at the same time."   0:)

Light Cavalry Overture in counterpoint to Stars and Stripes Forever: it can be done!   ;)

I don't see a lot of similarity between them. I guess I would choose von Suppe.

haha!, It's like the 'Sorcerer's Apprectice' and the 'Addams Family'!

'Hava Nagila' and Offenbach's 'Can-Can'!

I'm working on a list of mashups!


How many clever things i n a row does it take before it gets stupid? I played my string of cartoon classics for the band, and they hated it by about the fourth one, haha!

Yes, that is the question!  I would say it depends on your audience: 19 might be fine for some, while others may not want any such thing at all!   0:)
