A Personal
Note!
by jBosserman
MarchKing.Com
was started in 2005 as an effort to promote my own marches but in early
2007 I enlarged the site to include links of all the other marches I found available on the Internet. It's
strictly a non-profit endeavor because I love march music, and I'd like to share this with
everyone who feels the thrill and excitement of a good march!
I'm not a carrer musician but played in the 82nd Division Army Band during WWII and attended
Cincinnati Conservatory for one and a half years after leaving the service. During that
time I studied with one of Sousa's solo cornet players, Frank "Doc" Simon, an experience I will never forget.
Later, in 1961-64 while I was a member of the North American Aviation Band in Columbus Ohio, I had discussions
with Paul Bierley while he was working on Sousa's biography and I picked up many tidbits concerning march music. I
gave up playing in the sixties and spent 35 years just listening to music, but after 10 years as a retired
educator I decided in 2004 to try writing marches as a hobby. I have over 60 so far. Some I think are OK, others
not so good, but its been fun!
If your organization has a website with a recorded march not found on this site, and you'd like to see it listed here,
or you have a trivia question of general interest not answered, I'll link your march to this website
and/or try to find an answer to your question and include it on these web pages. Just call or send an email! I have lots of ideas to make the site better
over time and I will be adding links weekly.
In order to utilize the benefits of this site you'll of course need a hi-speed
web connection, free software such as Real Player or Windows Media, and hopefully a superior audio system on your computer. I appreciate any comments you
may have (click the Statue) and I hope you enjoy the music. jB

formed his own band in 1899 and became a prolific composer with over 140 marches to his credit. His works were published by
over 12 publishing companies of the time. He died in 1940 and his name was not Sousa, Fillmore, or King! Click
