The following marches are typical of those played during our scheduled, seasonal concert performances. Our selection of marches reflect the spirit of music and the culture of America. Many marches were written for military band performances, or for the excitement of the Big Top tent circus’. Included in our portfolio are marches by John Philip Sousa (The Commandant of the US Marine Corp Band, aka The President’s Own), Karl King,(The Master of Circus Music), and several others. The following is just a mere reflection of some of the greatest marches ever written and composed in America and some European nations.
