On THIS board, this thread should start and end with "March of the Women Marines". Kick butt tuba part, written by a tuba player, chicks in the title. What is there not to love?

Alford- By Land and Sea

Huge Alford fan....Colonel Bogey , HM Jolies , Army of the Nile( great tuba part here ! ) , Officer of The Day , Standard of St George etc....
Mechanized Infantry , by Mcbain
Hoch Heidecksburg ( The Watch Tower ) Blakenburg ?
Valdez ( or Valdrez ? ) not sure who wrote it...
I just love the euphonium counter melodies played out over the top of the band

[Outawind]

Here are the top ten:

1) "The Little Giant" - F. W. Moon
2) "Invercargill" - Lithgow
3) "Col. Bogey" - K. J. Alfred (A Euphy solo with band acc., in my opinion.)
4) "Officer of the Day" - R. B. Hall
5) "The Trombone King" - K. L. King
6) Most Sousa Marches
7) "Death or Glory" - R. B. Hall
"La Triestina" - Gallo
9) "Remembrance of Col. Miner" - Rosenkrans
10) "Washington Grays" - Grafulla

That was fun. I find it rather amusing that in this forum, no one has yet listed Huffine's "Them Basses" as a favorite. (Or did I miss it?)

Here is a good version but i don't hear anything really "Kick butt" in the tuba part...

That's the right tune. Could be a less than perfect recording or tiny computer speakers, but it is a great tuba part.

Well if you're into playing low and loud you would probably really enjoy this march. Its nice but kinda boring IMO.

[David Richoux]

IMHO THIS is a Kick Butt tuba part march (in unison with bones and Euphs.)

As Outawind mentioned earlier...

I see on Wiki that Huffine also wrote "Basses on a Rampage March" but Google finds credits by Richard Whitmarsh (leader of the South Shore Concert Band) - same song or what? I have not heard any version.

Yep.

Anything by Karl King, especially his circus screamers. KK was a euph player and always wrote good, fun euph obble-gobble parts!

I once played under his direction. When I was a student at U. of Iowa (1958-1963) he was guest conductor at one of our concerts. In his later years he lived in Iowa and was the director of the Fort Dodge Municipal Band.

My Dad played euph and wanted to join a circus band but never made it. Karl King was his hero. He came to the above mentioned concert and got Karl Kings autograph on the program. I still have that precious memento!

[Ken Herrick]

What?????? No UNDER THE DOUBLE EAGLE !?!?!?!?!?

That is the march version of a tuba concerto.

Also like "Quality Plus". For a long time here the Air Force Band had what must have been the only copy and it was their signature march. Did they get a shock one Anzac Day when Army put it on as the RAAF band approached the Shrine in Melbourne.

[jamsav]

OMG- Karl King !!!! Screamers...YES,YES ,YES....Neddermeyer Triumphal !!!

Great list; many of my faves also. Invercargill, trombone king, Washington Grays. Just played Standard of St. George by Alford today with the Lancaster British Brass Band (brass band version obviously) and who doesn't love Colonel Bogey?

Nobles of the Mystic Shrine by Sousa is one of my faves

third movement to the 1st Holst Suite

Crown Imperial, Walton

Hindemith's March from Symphonic Metamorphosis

very cool!

[bearphonium]

Karl King marches; I like Imperial March and Two Step

Sousa, just about every one of them, with a special fondness for Fairest of the Fair

Col. Bogey

[skeath]

Barnum & Bailey's Favorite -- K.L. King
The Stars and Stripes Forever -- J.P. Sousa

S&S has one of the most unique tuba parts in the literature, as well as one of the greatest back stories, and B&B is the iconic standard for circus marches. They are unmatched for their flavor of Americana.
