Troopers Tribunal - Study Score

Troopers Tribunal, a classic circus march, is one of the very earliest items from Fillmore. The title actually is a pun for "troupers" - as in a circus troupe. Fillmore joined a circus as bandmaster after his graduation from the Cincinnati Conservatory and used "troopers" to hide the circus association from his disapproving father. The new Serenissima Band Classics series is designed to offer band directors and others interested in this genre newly engraved authoritative editions which are prepared from the primary sources using the composer's original instrumentaion, which is sometimes markedly different from that found in bands today.
