This song was created using nothing but pianos and a minimum of percussion. I wanted to get the sound of a military marching band.
The bright acoustic pianos playing the piccolo parts way up high on the right end of the keyboard seemed to work pretty well.
If you just hear it casually, you might not realize it's all pianos at first. It's more than a little different.
