What march did they play in 1929? The PMC Band had a long love affair with "The Standard of St. George" and it's one of the great marches on the 1965 PMC Band's stereo record album. That's why it's featured here. If you'd like to hear the march that John Philip Sousa wrote and dedicated to PMC, just click here. "The Dauntless Battalion" is a classic too! th-cam.com/video/ZFIHd8SaTiY/w-d-xo.html
@@BandBoxParade Thanks so much for your reply! Standard of St. George was one of my favorites as well, as were most all of Alford's marches. I was a Navy Musician for 20 years, Euphonium major and at times a Drum Major for bands I was stationed in. Alford's tempos were a bit slower, lending to more of a "stroll" than a full march, and were much easier to play on the march. I believe Standard was around 108-112? Anyway, Standard of St. George was written in 1930 so unlikely it was played here. Thanks for the link!! Will check it out.
Rich Eastman, have a look in the video notes. It explains that the march was written in 1930 and includes some further comments about its creation. I was a member of the ‘65 PMC Band that recorded this tune.
Odd march to be playing for this... Alford's Standard of St. George?? Really? Doubt they would have played that back then for Pass in Review.
