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.
