Snider, Robert - Captain Henry March

Captain Henry March is a collection of musical ideas and challenges from the marches of Sousa, King and Fillmore. Devices such as roll styles, "first" and "second time" dynamics, long and short sounds from bass drum and cymbals, and the often confusing "road map" (repeats) are presented to provide the student with the ability to perform any standard march with correct interpretation. Parts to Captain Henry closely parallel the percussion parts to Sousa's El Capitan. The ensemble is encouraged to listen to recordings of this march and follow along with the parts to Captain Henry. The snare drum, bass drum and cymbal parts can be used while performingEl Capitan.
