It goes without saying that Karl King was a master at creating popular, tuneful marches and no concert would be complete without one of his rousing renditions!

A real toe-tapping experience, this is another wonderful march from the long list of gems by this master composer.

- Program Note from publisher


Part of King's World War II Marching to Victory collection, Burma Patrol is a rare march as it is set in a minor key and brings back the first strain before proceeding to the trio.
