SOUTH PARK
Back in 2008, Marine Corps bandleader Brian Dix got the idea to compose a symphonic piece called “Madam President,” just in case then-Sen. Hillary Clinton were to win the race for the presidency. Thirteen years later, the San Diego resident has finally premiered a new version of the piece in time for today’s inauguration in Washington, D.C.
Newly renamed “Madam (Vice) President,” the jaunty 5-minute march debuted online Sunday to honor former California Sen. Kamala Harris, who today will be sworn in as America’s first female vice president.
To record the video, Dix recruited 45 women musicians from all over California who volunteered their time filming themselves playing their musical sections. Those videos were then assembled and produced into a finished film produced by Arts Laureate, a recording studio that has flourished over the past year producing “virtual” concerts with quarantined musicians. The video can be seen online at youtube.com/user
