The above was removed from the American march music article after it was moved from March (music). Hyacinth 09:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Currently marching song redirects to this article, but it doesn't cover the practical roots and use of march music & march songs: sung and/or played by soldiers travelling from one place to another. Obviously this usage pre-dates any usage of the style or genre by a composer, and continues today. -- Design 04:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I think the very first statement is a little harsh and rude,
"A march, as a musical genre, is an unintelligent piece of music with a strong regular rhythm which in origin was expressly written for marching to and most frequently performed by a military band, intended for people who can't count to 3"
Perhaps it should be rephrased a little nicer and less derogatory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarVelo ( talk • contribs) 22:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks SousaFan88 wasn't sure, but that seemed a bit mean as I am in a marching band myself. MarVelo 13:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Are there any good examples of rock or pop songs with a marching feel? Right now, all I can think of is
Pink Floyd's "
Bring the Boys Back Home" -- except that that really isn't a rock or pop song; it's a marching song by a rock band on an album with multiple styles.
Anyway, does anyone agree that a section on march-flavored rock/pop would be interesting, appropriate, etc.? --

This distinction is a bit confusing. Does Scots-Irish refer to Northern Ireland? Because it seems to be talking about Scotland and Scotland is British. When it says British does it mean English? Æscing ( talk) 18:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth ( talk) 01:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
"Argentine military marches, unique in style and melody are inspired by the countless exploits of the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic in its long military history." I am Argentinian and I think this sentence is self-serving and opinionated. It is not proper encyclopedic information, and sounds like shameless propaganda. It doesn't bear review; it should be completely erased. Jorge mt62 ( talk) 07:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Added this today. Time permitting, I'll fill it out in the coming weeks. Perhaps even branch it off into an article of its own. CurryTime7-24 ( talk) 01:58, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Reasonable concerns by 64.229.165.72 and SSTflyer have not been addressed. Jenks24 ( talk) 13:19, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

In the discussion of J.P. Sousa's Stars and Stripes, the article states that the piccolo part is a solo. This is incorrect - it is not a solo (which, strictly speaking would mean the rest of the band would be silent or play nothing but chord tones), but rather, factually, it is a counter-melody that is first presented on its own , and then played a second time over the principal melody during the last D.S. of section C leading up to the final double-barline. It is my opinion that the article needs to be modified to reflect musically-correct information. 72.192.72.19 ( talk) 18:29, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
