Couldn't you get away with the Jamestowne Quad-Centennial March?? Or the
Jamestowne Four Centuries March?

Inspired by a CD of the 1907 and 1957 Jamestowne commissioned music that
I picked up last week down there, I have decided to apply my creative
juices to writing a march.  The easy part is roughing it out and
entering the notes.  I have scheduled lotsa drums and trumpets, horns
and rippling piccolos......   The hard part is picking a title, and I
need some academic help here.

The logical title is:

                                    "The Jamestowne Quadracentennial
March"

But the extra syllable in Quadra eliminates the 'flow' that we have with
'Centennial', 'BiCentennial' and 'TerCentennial'.

Is there another Greek, Latin, or English prefix which means '4' and
sounds better than 'Quadra'.  A free copy of the march for your favorite
high school, college, or community band to the winner.
