For all you military musicians --past and present-- out there, has anyone heard of this piece? I have been requested to find, arrange and perform this in a couple weeks. The requester hummed it, thinking that would be all I needed. First few notes strongly resembled Hail to the Chief, but the rest is lost!
Anyone with a source to find it, please let me know ASAP?
Thanks!

Not the POTUS. The General in chief is what I am looking for. As in General Grant in 1865.The tune is on the military ceremonial music website, but I would prefer the sheet music if possible.

This might help you find what you are looking for, including the proper number of ruffles and flourishes to the occasion, observance or person:

Try this. You would have to add chords.

Okay, I'll bite. Does the assistant mess lad still get one ruffle?
