Alas, the site doesn't contain The Boston Commandery.
Is the compiler anti-masonic? [Sousa was a very active Freemason.]

SOUSA ROCKS!
Once again today I am repeating myself on unrelated threads. This is weird, but I will take it as a good omen.
Great site, very informative.

The "Boston Cammandery March" was composed by Thomas Carter (1841-1934), not by Sousa.

We hauled out our old LP recordings of Sousa just this very morning . . . what a coincidence . . . << g >>
Great stuff. Sets your feet to tapping. Even my dog likes to march around the room to Sousa.

Lol, I attended St. Cornelius School in Richmond, CA. The good sisters would play John Philip Sousa every day at lunch over the PA system.

I have a tape, "Sousa Marches" Boston Pops Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler, conductor. RCA CAK-2993 which contains Boston Commandery March.

Absolutely love Sousa marches.
The only problem is I can not play them because for some reason, I literally can't get the tunes out of my mind after listening to them.
