[JJBRMusic]

I played this as a encore for a festival a few years back. I LOVE THIS MARCH.

[Nicix333]

Playing the Euphonium TC part for this on Tenor Sax. It's ridiculous and amusing.

[bippkidmaster]

[bloroxmonkey]

[MFXE1997]

I'm playing this on alto sax as a high school freshman. EPIC!!!

[kittysmileyface1]

I had to play this for the band I am in and it was such a pain in the ass

[kittykaty664]

I am not looking forward to playing this in band... I like the song and all, but SO FAST!!!!!

[hurricanekeefe]

Everytime we reherse this number, I feel like I should jump out of my chair and want to scream"szeek hille"

[jpeanrkode]

@hurricanekeefe It's a bit fast, but I guess I can hear how it might sound a bit German. Sousa was a bit more robust than, say, Blankenburg, Zehle, or J.F.Wagner, although I've commonly heard Wagner's "Unter Dem Doppeladler" mistakenly credited to Sousa... Or were you just making an offensive joke? (I think you meant "sieg heil").

[24Tributer]

i played this at my county band concert and it was a BITCH to learn in 5 days (because i didn't practice it much, good thing i was on 3rd)

[TheRapier95]

one dislike... i bet he feels special

[WrathOfTheHomunculi]

I'm a high school freshman playing this on baritone and THIS MARCH IS AMAZING!!!

[TabiSts0]

@WrathOfTheHomunculi

euphonium is better  :P there is a slight diffrence between them

[MrWINNSLAW]

"I played the hell out of this song on my baritone all through out high school and college! Excellent march!"

[LePrince1890]

Years ago on WOR radio John Gambling II had a segment called the "March Around the Breakfast Table" and would put on these wonderful old Sousa marches. Even in the 1950s and 1960s we grew up with John Philip's marches.

[schlesmail]

@LePrince1890 : I remember those segments, too, but I think Don McNeill originated the march around the breakfast table with the "Call to Breakfast" on his "Breakfast Club" radio show. Always used to enjoy the give-&-takes between Gambling & Peter Roberts.

[LePrince1890]

@schlesmail I remember Peter Roberts enjoyed talking about the "grackle" and reciting a two line couplet about it being "a noble bird".

[Tubarulz64]

you have all the best marches! hands across the sea, the gallant seventh, and in high quality too!

He's also got great recordings of other marches, like The stars and stripes forever,The Royal Welch Fusiliers,Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and Bullets and Bayonets to name a few.

@theUP844 - my channel takes music like this and playlists it by YEAR, like 1899 for this one, so you can listen to the music of any of the past 120 years as if you've stepped back in time!
