What was that song during the balloon drop?

[Free4Life11]

During the RNC, it sounded like a classical song like they play on the 4th of July...right before they started playing the fireworks on the video screen...do you know what it's called? I like it and want to download it.

My guess would be 1812 Overture, which has nothing to do with America but gets used for the 4th a lot. That's by Tchaikovsky. That's the one that has the "cannon" shots at the end, but starts with a beautiful cello sextet. Second guess is Liberty Bell March by JP Sousa - that's the Monty Python theme song. Can someone who actually saw it give me a better idea of what the song was like?

Let me iTunes it and see if you're right...thanks!

Well I check the songs but none of them sound like what I head

And now my Tivo ran out...I thought I recorded it, but I had paused it and now I can't remember how the music went. LOL but thanks for your help I'll find it some day!

Its the song. I have it on my ipod. There are different versions of it depending on where you are in the movie. I think the part they used is near the middle of the movie.

That's an interesting choice of music then...I'm going to go see if the balloon drop is on the youtube. I'm going to have to take your word for it, because in the only video on youtube you can't actually hear any music, just yelling. Is the Rudy soundtrack available on iTunes?

That's it!! You have to listen really hard over the screaming but it's in the background. Anyone know which track it might be?

ETA: Ok I got it, "Take it Out."

I've been frantically listening to little soundbites when I knew it was further into the song where they started playing that music! The entire soundtrack is excellent, btw.

I have never seen the movie...any good?

 

[JessicaR]

I enjoyed the sounds clips too. I would like that soundtrack. I didnt see the movie either but I would like to.

Easily one of the greatest movies EVER. I LOVE it. I have watched it so many times that it isn't even funny, and I bawl each and every time.

In a happy way, not a sad one.

It is AWESOME!

Remember, I'm a hockeymom... it is about football, Notre Dame football at that, not even Michigan! But, it is truly an inspirational GREAT movie. TRUE, too! If you haven't seen it it is totally worth buying or renting. If you buy it you won't regret it.
