We played this as part of one of our shows when I was in marching band. I can still hear the opening notes. My director was a huge Copland fan and we played many of his pieces over the years in marching and concert.
Ah, retreat. At least the flute and piccolo weren't heavy, but boy did my arms get tired.
We played his Appalachian Spring my senior year of high school.
