In 1890 Sousa was commissioned to write a march by the high school of Washington, D.C. (later called Central). The school's famous "High School Cadets" drill team asked Sousa for a better march than "National Fencibles", which he had written for a rival school. They got one.

In 1939 Universal Pictures released "The Under-Pup" starring 12 year-old singing prodigy Gloria Jean. The film tells the story of a poor city girl given the chance to attend a summer camp for privileged girls. The girls of the camp have a "Penguin Club" whose song is set to Sousa's High School Cadets.

The 2nd half of the video plays the march again with footage from the film overlaid.
