Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Consistent tempos
I purchased these marches to use with my exercise class, and we are totally satisfied. The Royal Marines keep a very consistent and marchable tempo. The wide variety of music offers Sousa melodies that are usually not available. Two CDs for this price is a wonderful value. Bravo to everyone who participated in making these wonderful CDs



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Sousa
I love Sousa marches but this recording while comprehensive and cheep lacks much to be desired in the musical rendension. It lacks the spark and musicality of Sousa.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sousa By the Royal Marines
This is a great CD re-issue of the Band of the Royal Marines School of Music under Graham Hoskins. This band did a three LP series on Sousa marches some years ago that was better than most on this very well covered topic. Sousa march recordings will always come and go, but some like this stand out more than others. For one, there is nothing like the panache of a Royal Marines band.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still Among the Best
I bought two audio casettes with these marches back in the 1980's and wore them out. These performances are hard to beat for virtuosity, enthusiasm, and sparkle. The sound quality is outstanding. And there are some marches that are rarely, if at all, available.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - How Sousa Should Sound
Great value 2 cd disc set cut in the early 1980's & remastered the sound of the Royal Marines Band is nothing short of terrific. Judging by the sound would not be surprised for this to be a combined double RM band. These 1st chair players give Sousa's great marches that extra kick that takes the "March Kings" music to that higher level. By the center quick march!!!!
