Program Notes
The President March was commissioned by Lieutenant George Thompson, conductor of the United States Navy Band and the first and only African American bandmaster in U.S. Navy history. When I was director of bands at University Of Pittsburgh, we met at a national Black music caucus conference approximately one year prior to the premiere performance of the composition. President Ronald Reagan was in attendance at the concert, and the audience acknowledged the composition with a rousing standing ovation.
