While every player has an important part in this arrangements, there are several parts that really the musicianship and talent of the players shine through. The challenge of the piccolo solo during obbligato in the Grandioso certainly showcase the glockenspiel.

The drum parts have been arranged to compliment the melody while providing that wonderful, classic , march feel.
