Program Notes
One of Alexander's most enduring marches, this was dedicated to Hale A. Vandercook (1864-1949), who was the bandmaster for LaPearl's shows from 1891-1897. Vandercook was a famous circus bandmaster and musician, as well as a prolific composer, and he founded the Vandercook College of Music on Chicago, which thrives to this day. Liek the tropical reference in the title, the temperature rises when the march is played at a circus tempo.
