by E. E. Bagley , and arranged for flute choir / ensemble by me, Ray-Michael Kauffman.
Dedicated to flutist and friend Jenny Rhodes Fritsch.

This great little March, considered by multiple historical and patriotic American music groups, to be one of the top American pieces of music.
This piece is arranged smartly, and to be fun for your flutist group and for all audiences to enjoy as well. Great for program music, summer music , march music, early 20th century music, cake walks, reminisces music for audiences, fun to place in between "serious /stuffy pieces", or just to have fun with.
A piece that can be used for lots of occasions and events, and Holiday programs whether Flag Day, Memorial Day, July Fourth, etc.
Definitely a piece your group will come back to every year !
