This is a great piece to actually march to. It's by Kenneth Joseph Alford, popularly known as the "British March King." Sousa wasn't the only march "royalty."
This is my favourite British march - it should our anthem: the Peoples anthem, not the Royal Families,
Our present Monarch has served us well - but Britain is its People, not monarchy. One day (by lawful, peaceful & democratic means) we should revert to being a Republic (but do it better than last time).
@GodSavetheQueenII Our present Anthem "God save the Queen" is a German Song that began as the song of a political party who opposed the Rightful Native British Monarch in favour of an absentee German Ruler who did not even respect Britain enough to live here & learn the English Language.
I am British, love my country, people & heritage & do not wish to live in France. I have been there many times: France is very far from "soulless" and prouder of its heritage than are most English.
@GodSavetheQueenII Your bad language & abusive attitude to a total stranger whose opinions you don't understand or agree with. Your obvious ignorance of the British heritage you profess (as well as your ignorance of France) all indicate that you are an uneducated, immature, mindless worthless little troll.
@GodSavetheQueenII United Kingdom is a great nation in the world. I admire the British for his history . They created the most great empire in the Human’s history and they has a great monarchs, for example: queen Victoria, Elizabeth I, William the conquerer or Henry IV. But, in Catalonia admire the Queen Anna because she helped the Catalans in 1704 when Catalonia fought challenge Spain.
@GodSavetheQueenII The Catalans help the British empire when they captured Gibraltar, today in Gibraltar existed a one bay, the name for this bay is Catalan’s Bay. France is a great nation but in the past was a treacherous because they said which helps catalans challenged Spanish but they let us fought challenged Spanish. And then France conquered Roselló , one territory Catalan. . But when Napoleon conquered Catalonia, he decided which Catalonia formed part the France but
Catalans challenged French and Catalans obtains a great victory in the Bruc’s Battle. Catalans, Spanish, British Prussians and Russians defeated Napoleon. In my opinion, the Great Britain is the a one most great nation in the world, We, the Catalans admire this nation because the British helped the Catalans in a innumerable occasions, Thank you Great Britain and GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!
The Million Dollar Band of The University of Alabama did an amazing drill to this march several years ago....it was a circle drill but also had long lines stretching from endzone to endzone...with 480 members a lot of field can be covered...
