well as far as i know, provided i didnt even bother to check or pay attention to it, we didnt make any recordings of the performances. Also the performances werent contests.
however if you wish to kow the songs we played they were: (not in order of how we played them)
-The Star Spangled Banner (how could you not play this at the US monuments)
-Salute to America (another patriotic song which is actually a medley of 3 songs)
-Hang on Sloopy (well this song isnt patriotic but i do believe Ohio State University plays it a lot in their pep band and since OSU made it to the finals we had to play it. [but then OSU had to lose by 9 points >_> ])
-Take The A Train/ Chattanooga Choo Choo (not patriotic but this was a mix of those 2 songs that we played in our marching band show this past football season)
-Crazy Train (yet again not patriotic but this song was cut from out marching band show and since we play it fairly well we played it on this trip)
-Baba O'Riley (this is by The Who originally and if you watch the CSI shows then you know this is the theme song for CSI: New York and was also in our marching band show the year before so thats why we played it.)
-God Bless the USA (back to patriotic songs. obviously this is a well known song in the US)
-America on Parade (another fairly well known patriotic song which is usually as the name suggests played for parades)

we also played our bands cadence at New York which if you dont know what that is its usually what the band plays when marching into the football stadium.

and sorry BloodReign i didnt get ya a " I <3 New York " T-shirt hell there were too many people walking around with those shirts. and no i didnt get a Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt either
