There was a pretty funny incident where an old guy from a seniors home got triggered by the song, but everyone just thought he forgot his pills that day or some shit.
Any questions?

How the fuck did you manage to get this by the history/music students at the school?
Surely one of them would have known it?
>>73726152
My history teacher recognized it, and asked me about it.
I just told him as it is: it's a march that was made around the time WWI started (history teacher doesn't see Germany in WWI as evil like everyone else). He actually thought that it was clever to choose such an old piece.

All written by writers, teachers etc. , who all removed kebab.
Also post some of the stuff you have made if you can
Godspeed OP

That makes sense
and I suppose someone actually educated on history would realise that germany were not the aggressors in WW1
Though I think its a little sad none of the students recognised it, and I assumed there would be some outright over some halftruths or a misconception about it being a nazi marching song

They all sound pretty good. The first one reminds me a bit of 'Wenn die Soldaten'

This was the first piece I rewrote, back in late 7th Grade. It was pretty shitty because most if the normal band at that point was saxophones.
>>73727057
Yeah it does sound quite similar , ours is more high test though .

This was the second song, rewritten in 8th grade.
I remember having a trumpet lead, whilst saxophones made up most of the background instruments.
