The Goldman Band – Marching Along Together

Marching Along Together – The Goldman Band

Marching Along Together is a collection of American military marches, service songs, and patriotic standards performed by The Goldman Band, one of the most influential concert and military-style bands in the United States. Founded by Edwin Franko Goldman in 1911, the ensemble became renowned for its outdoor concerts and recordings of traditional American band music.

The album celebrates the musical traditions of the U.S. armed services, featuring official songs and marches associated with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The repertoire is dominated by stirring brass fanfares, crisp percussion, and the disciplined ensemble playing characteristic of military bands.

Highlights include the famous march "Semper Fidelis" by John Philip Sousa, often regarded as the official march of the U.S. Marine Corps, alongside enduring patriotic songs such as "America the Beautiful" and "The Star-Spangled Banner." The album serves as both a musical tribute to American military heritage and a showcase for the concert band tradition.
