Program Notes
Chambers wrote nearly ninety marches, and The Boys of the Old Brigade is one of his best known. It was written in 1901 and is a short, spirited march at just over two minutes long.
The piece features a virtuoso baritone part in the trio and the piece is a great way to showcase the abilities of any band.
