Lee Shook

Grade 2

Highlight your next parade performance with Sousa on Parade. The familiar Sousa melodies from “High School Cadets” and “Semper Fidelis” will make this selection a real crowd pleaser. Scored with marching band instrumentation, Sousa On Parade opens with a rousing fanfare from the brass section followed immediately by a cadence-like rendition of “High School Cadets” featuring flutes, mallets and percussion section. The 6/8 percussion interlude introduces the familiar bugle call from “Semper Fidelis” and the arrangement builds to an exciting conclusion with a hint of “Stars and Stripes” thrown in for good measure!  Score is printed in landscape mode.
