American Patrol

Description

AMERICAN PATROL was originally written for piano by Tin Pan Alley composer Frank White Meacham in 1885. An arrangement for wind band was published in 1891. Glen Miller released a 78 single of the march for Victor Records in 1942. The recording reached 15th place on Billboard that year. Typical of the patrol format, the march depicts a military band approaching, walking past, then receding into the distance. This edition is a reprint of the original Carl Fischer band arrangement of this popular tune, first published in 1891.
