Red's White and Blue March - Parker Combined Bands

The Parker combined bands performing Red's White and Blue March by Red Skelton, arranged by Don Ferris. May 11, 2009.

The video you see was projected onto the walls of the auditorium during the performance.

From the program insert:
"Reds White and Blue March was written by the famous comedian Red Skelton. His career in entertainment spanned over 60 years of stage, radio, movies and television. His comedy was full of silly characters and superb skills of pantomime. He became an accomplished painter and also dabbled in writing music. This patriotic march was written in 1964."

I remember playing this in high school over 30 years ago and am pleased to hear it still being performed...I always thought it to be a charming tune.
