Song Help

In the movie I believe it was chapter 16 titled The Toast of New York, it is later in the show when Benny returns to NYC to play at the Paramount Theater. The movie is just coming to and end and as the band is raised from below to the stage at the Paramount they begin with Lets Dance and Benny is surprised by the loud applause. What I am trying to find out is what song do they play after that when the audience all get up and begin dancing in the aisles?

The song is called "Bugle Call Rag."

I though maybe that was it but I don't have a CD with that song on it, I listened to a 30 second snippit on Amazon and I was pretty sure it was the same tune but so hard to tell in just 30 seconds. Thanks for you help!

My pleasure.

You can probably find the song in its entirety on rhapsody.com
