I've been trying to put together a tracklist for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Summer Games Parade of Nations - by watching Youtube videos. I've Identified a few of the songs, but others still elude me. This is what I've been able to identify:
1. Bugler's Dream - Leo Arnaud
2. Santorini - Yanni (from the Live at the Acropolis album)
3. unknown but sounds familiar
4. unknown - bunch of unknown tracks
5. Standing in Motion - Yanni (from the Live at the Acropolis album)
6. Chronologie Part 4 - Jean Michel Jarre
7. Chariots of Fire - Vangelis
This list, minus Bugler's Dream, loops around at least 3 or 4 times during the 2hr or so long Parade of Nations. When the US team finally enters, the loop switched to John Williams' Olympic Fanfare and Theme (without Bugler's Dream as it is usually attached to), followed by a number of marching songs, one of which I believe is Stars and Stripes Forever. I recognize the tunes of these marching songs but forget the titles. My question is...

Does anyone happen to know what music was used during the 1996 Parade of Nations, or, has a good ear and can identify them in the Youtube videos?

Here's the Youtube videos of the parade of nations. There's 13 parts, with one part unfortunately missing:

Someone on another board mentioned Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene plays in there somewhere, but not sure what part of Oxygene plays (it's got 6 parts) or at what point it's played.
