  1. MP3 Recording: Barnum and Bailey's Favorite - U.S. Marine Band

    Here is a recording that makes a good example of playing a piece that you find on many audition lists: Barnum & Bailey's Favorite. This is one of the most famous circus marches ever written, to the point that it is almost iconic. It was written by bandleader (and euphonium player!) Karl King (1891-1971) in 1913.

    Performance is by The United States Marine Band, surely one of the very best wind bands in the world. Enjoy!
