Program Notes

Initially composed in 1899, and “Respectfully dedicated to the Officers and Men of the 1st South Dakota Infantry, U.S. Volunteers,” this is a classic 6/8 march. Featuring bugle calls and exuding a bouncy energy, this new version has been orchestrated to fit the instruments of the modern wind band.

N.B. Some modern commercial sources list the composer of this work as F.M. Halstad. Research suggests that the name was actually Frank M. Halstead.
