El Capitan

Effectively exploiting the contrast between compound time (6/8) and common time (2/4), this tuneful march from Sousa's operetta of the same name, is perfectly re-cast for young musicians in this expert version by Andrew Balent. It makes a great "warm-up" march and is a fine introduction to the Sousa style.
