@BiebersLermaniac Nice! Lot's of good parts for trumpet. I play First Alto Saxophone for my band. We have a festival coming up. We're going to kick butt.

@transformer123able OBJECTION! You uploaded a video 5 months ago, yet this comment was clearly made 2 weeks ago! Would you care to tell the court what you were doing during the four and a half month gap between you making an account, liking this video, apparently uploading a video of your own, and the time of this comment?
This march is featured in "Milo and Otis", At the part where Otis is fighting the bear in the river, and again when Otis rescued Milo from the hole, when they were finally reunited. I guess you could call it Otis's theme song.
@harmon1103 Marches can be written in 4/4, but they more common to be in cut time, or 6/8. Cut time is just a fast 4/4, fast enough to say 1 2 1 2 instead of 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4, and 6/8 is the kinda march that reminds me of a horse, clip-e-clop-e-clip-e-clop-e, this march is in 6/8 time, marching to it is easy. Just follow the tuba! Same goes for cut time marches.
We just started playing this piece recently in our band, and I lovee~ playing it! Even though I'm a 3rd clarinet, this piece is still mega fun to play. :D
What great pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope to accompany the music...thanks for posting.. I also played this in high school once upon a time.
Out of curiosity...what's with the nebula you chose for this video? What is it? The Ant Nebula? Why did you choose to pair it with this march? Was it arbitrary? You should comment about this in your description instead of just saying "Sousa". Just my opinion.
@manwithabook Actually, I think this is the nebula called "Thor's Helmet." Maybe since he is a god and King Cotton refers to the dominance of the cotton crop in the southern U.S., there's some correlation?
@manwithabook (again) But now I see that all of the march videos have the same picture, so so much for that theory. It's still an interesting notion though, and a pretty cool-looking nebula also!
Another great Poruguese in the History if USA to go along with the Giant of the Revolutionary War Peter Francisco of which General Washington said without him we would have lost many battle and probably the war.
This was the last song we played at our last concert, and it was really awesome. Perfect way to end the best year of band class ever. Too bad the whole band was eighth grade and I was seventh, so I won't be having band with them next year :(
I remember marching to this piece and not being able to keep my bearing because I was thinking about Milo and Otis. You have no idea how long it took me to figure out what this song was called!
Living just north of the old Cotton Exchange in Savannah, (HHI, SC, ) gives me the old spirit of the South. Just sayin' Walk down River Street, Imagine this being played.
Wow. By no means am I a classical music fan.... but Sousa is awesome. I heard this piece on a movie many years ago called The Adventures Of Milo And Otis and the tune has stuck with me. I heard it again today at my girlfriend's college graduation and I found myself whistling along to it and I've been searching all night for the name and I finally found it! Sousa is awesome!
I'm playing this. I really like that it has the right amount of difficulty. It's in 6/8, but my conductor just puts it in 4/4 with triplets. I find it hard to keep track of the dotted quarters on the ends of the measures because its hard to tell when to come in.
@AsianSharpie then practice your counting if you cant fiure out where to come in. the sheet tells you ;) !!!! (ps - 6/8 is a lot easier to count in 2 like cut time)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No march is ever in 4/4.
Everyone is in either 2/2 or 6/8. Some might be in an odder marking such as 12/8 or 3/2, although every march I've ever seen has been in those two times. If it's not in those, it's not a real march.
cool march. this is what we're playing this year for the marching band. it's gonna b our competition piece. it's awesome, but we kinda make it sound bad. man, this teacher has brought so many of us down. our band as a whole sucks now. i hope we get back up to where we were
You keep up your spirit and hopefully it will bring up the spirit of the other members. There is nothing better than a marching band playing a good march. Good Luck.
yea, thanks...i try to, but it gets really hard when 3 winds keep us going the whole time and about another 3 playing for a third of the time, along with 2/3 the percussion. it's really hard. i really wish that we had our old band teacher back, but it's not possible because of her daughter.

And, now I can piece together all the composition of Souza, and see that he composed a series of melodies to eulogize the industries and the factories and the corporation might of the US, and the military is merely a component of that expression.
Of course, Souza eulogized those because he was white and part of the consumers, and he cared none for the poorer people of the world.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Jean Philippe Souza is an aristocratic pig. He must have composed this between 1880-1900, and only an aristocratic pig could compose something about "King Cotton" when that was the reason for slavery of the Blacks, so they get cheap labor
-hey, these days, they still get cheap labor, except slavery looks bad for publicity, so they call it free-market, and free-trade.
There are free-trade zones, terrible labor camps in Mexico, where they are penniless, producing all the consumer items for the US
Hey retard: cotton continued to be a huge industry in the South after the American Civil War, even without slave labor. It continues to be so because the climate there is good for it.
J.P. Sousa is not a racist for acknowledging this in the title of a march he wrote for his Tour of the American South in the late 19th century.
In closing, stop being a faggot. It's a great march, and placing racist connotations to it is stupid and false.
This is a superb interpretation of King Cotton, my favourite Sousa march. I've heard the faster versions (apparently as Sousa wanted them) but I prefer the slower 4/4 speed that we used to march to at parades when I was in the military.
'Superb' is right! The slower tempo does demand much more attention to the rhythm to make sure the piece does not drag, and here the band is still extremely articulated and sensitive. Kudos to the players and the conductor.
I was a music education major and took conducting lessons and played clarinet since fifth grade. I have led a band and a symphony orchestra once so I know a little bit. technically speaking, this is really good.
Surprisingly British military bands get the idea.
i WISH THE US MARINE BAND WOULD POST THEIR RECORDING OF THIS!
King Cotton is referring to the south. North Carolina is home to the largest textile manufacturing in the US \, if not the world. In more recent times, it is King Tobacco. But that might change.
You don't get the idea. Apparently your band director hasn't played you a GOOD VERSION of it so you will know what is SUPPOSED to sound like. This sounds like it might have been rearranged and you can't hear the brass and bass very well. GOOD BASS DEFINES A MARCH as does the DRUM/PERCUSSION SECTION!
The dynamics in this recording are not very good. The musicians sound rather laid back. My grandfather conducted this march and it should be faster with a lot more PASSION behind it!
ellycrane14, you're a serious brat, you know that? You probably listen to trash music that's memory will only last ten years, then everyone will forget about it. Unlike this. So bug off, you wank.

No. This is at the right speed. The way march is supposed to be.

It should be like that. Marches shouldn't be too slow. :)

I don't know what band this is but I am not liking the soft pianissimo sections...it's a march, not a lullaby.

Thats how its written. There are a lot of marches with soft parts like that. I used to do street and the soft parts actually are seen as more of a challenge. It also makes the forte parts more forte.

Yeah I know it's about contrast. I guess I'm just picky. I generally like to hear it at a more energetic tempo too.

@RWT683 I got no prob with soft sections, I just would like them to come back with a forte` second time around

If this does't make you want to march, what will? That is, if you like marching and all..

I see you have a lot of Sousa up on youtube. You wouldn't happen to have Nobles of the Mystic Shrine march, would you?

Too tepid. No soul. And slightly too slow. :-(

you know this march is done at 140 bpm right...

I had no problem with your upload of the song.
I just felt that the performance lacked conviction. I still do. Sorry if that angered everyone. Thank you for your repy.
