march
(1916)
John Philip Sousa, composer
This march, written in 1916, is a lighthearted, upbeat depiction of
scouting, even including a whistling section.
Sousa said the march “absolutely breathes the boy; it visualizes the
supple step of the boy marching, and not the heavy tread of the man.”
The Boy Scouts of America celebrated their 100th year anniversary this past
year.
