“Semper Fidelis” takes its title from the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps, which means “always faithful”.
The march unusually features a drum break before the trio. The first Trio strain is constructed of a bugle call repeated three times with increasingly complex accompaniment superimposed on it.



I was a band nerd in Junior High and High School. I have to admit that I love marching music. Not all day every day, but nothing gets the blood pumping like a JPS march tune. Even better than a Broadway show tune!
