  • @trapezemusic , I disagree about the tempo. British marches are typically a little slower than American marches, AND this particular piece is a "Poetic March" in memorium. Most American bands take Alford marches too quickly, but this band's tempo is just right.

  • I just found that clip.

  • I did not know this about the JFK funeral--thanks for sharing .Who played it since Major Rickets-aka Ken Alford was in the Canadian army. the tune is a salute to the 100,000 soldiers of the multi jurisdictional forces that landed in France as WW I commenced . All were killed . The Mad Major was a true composer . Ply on.

  • I believe this conductor has selected a tempo that is too slow, especially during the trio. A little known fact is that this march was played during President Kennedy's funeral procession (1963). One last comment: Towsley Auditorium is badly in need of a curtain along the back wall of the stage.
