Fans and march enthusiasts will be overjoyed with this wonderfully stylish, rediscovered march.  It gives a glimpse of the young, aspiring composer and reflects the early years of his career. At the time it was written, Sousa had not yet begun his Marine Band career and had 34 works published. Published for band after he left the Marine Band and formed his professional band, it's a fitting tribute to the esprit de corps of bands everywhere.
