An Olympic-sounding piece

[uofatbone]

I have tryouts for the Million Dollar Band (marching band at UofA) this sunday and I haven't played my trombone since before graduation in May. This past week I've been trying to essentially cram by playing quite a bit. Anyway today I was messing around and playing lip slurs and octave jumps and all that stuff and I came up with a kind of regal, fanfarish sounding thing. So I sat down at the piano and about 20 minutes later I had written an olympic sounding piece of music.

Couple of things: I'm not a very proficient piano player, so I try to keep one hand fairly simple (and in this case, it's the right) and the midi sounds horrible (especially the right hand part).

The first person who can guess where I got the title for the piece gets a gold star.

ok so the point of this was to create a twist on the traditional olympic / rocky theme song... but instead you kind of just took the same song... and really did nothing especially interesting to it. I think that with some ingenuity you could probably turn that song into a neat variation (ala variations of twinkle little star, mozart...) you knwo what i'm saying?

oh well, it's a 30 second midi file, but think about it.
