Music for a career

[Oldstacker]

Change of topic away from politics etc

Thinking ahead to when I get old(er) and start losing my marbles or even grip on life, I have put together a video comprised of photo's illustrating my service career with captions etc about where I was & why I was in certain places etc. As part of that I have added music (mostly military marches) that is, imho, relevant to the pictures. I have started with my passing out parade at Swinderby and used the RAF March over that and ended with demob and the Elegy on the RAF March.

Clearly for someone who has been on 617 the 'Dambusters March' might be appropriate, similarly for someone from Coltishall the piece called 'The Jaguar' might fit the bill.

But what would you choose & why? Perhaps a Bandsman (if we have one) could offer wider suggestions?

Spending time in Cyprus in the 90s, just remember Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Summertime coming on all the time, whilst driving along the coast between Akrotiri and Episkopi

My pass out parade music at Swinderby was the Liberty Bell march by John Philip Sousa.
Which sounds fine until you realise it was also used as the theme tune for Monty Python.
Somebody in discip central had a sense of humour.

My parade at Swinderby pretty much followed the format depicted by this Album The-Newcomers-Passing-Out-Parade-Swinderby-Style and I still have, i think, a copy of the LP albeit with nothing to play it on these days! Some of the tracks I can find on line, but not all of them.

I think the theme music to the start, duration and ending to my 1st career could easily be the Benny Hill Theme Tune with a slight smattering of Beadle's About when I was on the wind-up.
