John Edmondson has penned some of the very best marches for young band, and this stirring work is one of his best!  Bright and tuneful, it's a superb example of the classic march style, and when you couple that with the patriotic feel generated by the America The Beautiful interlude, you can't lose!  In addition, it's loaded with teaching potential for rhythmic accuracy and tone production.  Bands at the easy level will find this will come together quite quickly.  Very highly recommended!
