I once lived across the street from a college that was hosting a state-wide high school marching band camp: I heard of lot of Sousa marches, which all tended to sound the same.

If I were the band director at the campaign event, I would have gone for Sousa's "Washington Post March" - yes, THAT Washington Post!
