Um... it has a nice March theme in it. And the potential for set design can be amusing. (Otherwise, I really can't come up with a good title).

Meta Prompt
The answer to this meta is a 20th century piece of music
Sadly, I worry many probably are not familiar with the work in question. Oh, well. There's always Google. I asked my wife about this and she said the March was her favorite music when she was a little girl. She said it reminded her of the march of the Ewoks. I said I couldn't remember the music from that.
Anyway, don't fall down any rabbit holes.
