Comrades of the Legion

Written in honor of the American Legion, a veteran’s group formed after World War I. This Brass Quintet arrangement was made using “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band’s The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa score as found at https://www.marineband.marines.mil/Audio-Resources/The-Complete-Marches-of-John-Philip-Sousa/. Comrades of the Legion was composed in 1920, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2019. The piece is catalogued as Volume 5, No. 91. Section titles (such as “First Strain” and “Trio”) follow the measure numbers provided by that edition. Each instrument follows its full-band part as often as possible, the only exception being Trombone covering the Euphonium/Baritone part. Because of this, Euphonium/Baritone would make a suitable substitute.
