This cd captures all the energy and excitement of military marching bands that so excites us. As you listen; you can visualize the precision and force of the rows and rows of the marchers with their instruments.

I needed a traditional CD of patriotic songs to teach my Girl Scout troop but they wouldn't listen to this one past the first song. It is way to intense. The huge orchestra and the operatic voices,although truly beautiful, will not appeal to a mass audience.

In spite of the mixed reviews below, after listening to the samples, I had to send for this CD. I am so glad I did - this is the best collection of marches I have ever owned. It's worth noting that the Band of the Grenadier Guards is a British military band whose history goes back 300 years!

4.Enduring Freedom: America's Greatest Hits from: Decca July 01, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.47
This CD contains a good choice of American patriotic tunes and songs. The recording is good and the price is affordable. If it is your first CD of American patriotic tunes and songs, it is a good choice. However, if you prefer the same tunes and songs played or sung by an other orchestra, band or choir, just shop on Amazon; there are hundred of different versions.

5.A Patriotic Salute to the Military Family from: Altissimo Records January 02, 2001

Anchor's Aweigh's sound quality was the weakest but passable. USAF Band recordings were OK. US Army band and the Marine Corp band were good to very good. On a good stereo system the National Anthem and Army Goes Rolling Along were simply magnificent. All the other recordings except the few mentioned above were also of good quality. The Bugle Calls were simply excellent. We use them to teach our children the flag raising and retreat ceremony. For a military family, this compilation is excellent, "Trinkets and Beads" brings back fond memories. As for the other praises, it may be difficult for a civilian family to appreciate.

In 1969, I have bought the Longplaying "March in review - Stirring U.S. service marches - Band of the Grenadier Guards". It is the original recording on London SP44131 and it was considered at that time as one of the best military music recordings ever done. This CD contains exactly the same tunes payed exactly in the same manner and it is always a powerful recording. Listen Anchors Aweigh and you will hear the sound of the waves. No other band can do that. Listen "Ballad of the green berets", "Semper Paratus", "She wore a yellow ribbon" or "Thru the years" and you will understand why I like it. Trust me; it is really a very good CD.

9.Always Ready Semper Paratus from: Altissimo Records November 01, 2001

This disc is great for anyone who is a fan of rousing marches and big wind ensemble pieces. Even though the Coast Guard is the smallest of the Armed Forces branches, their band is just as talented and musically diverse as any of the larger branches. The majority of the disc is devoted to familiar Sousa marches and Coast Guard service marches. The last six are wonderfully American wind ensemble selections. I am considering enlisting in the U.S. Coast Guard and, as a euphonium player, would love to be a part of a such a fine group of musicians. Semper Paratus!
