Another of my experiments of taking a Sousa march and doing it for percussion only. This is "King Cotton," and is one of my favorites. To play it this way using the real instruments, you'll need:
2 glockenspiels
Crotales
Xylophone
Xylomarimba
4 vibraphones
6 marimbas (2 grand staff, 2 treble clef, 2 bass clef)
Battery percussion
Soprano, alto, tenor, and bass steel drums
This is therefore simpler than my previous Sousa arrangements. It didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to, but I'm still glad I did it.
