I was really trying to capture a parade-y festive feel here. I took a lot of inspiration from John Philip-Sousa

Thanks for enjoying

Woah, this sounds really good. I can definitely feel the John Phillip Sousa vibe throughout the song! I like the trumpet fanfare you started the march out with and the overall trumpet melody is pretty good. Dat low brass counter-melody tho...it's pretty awesome. I can here some background brass a little, maybe some french horn? You can definitely bring that out! Also, I was hoping for more woodwinds, because it can add to the whole festive vibe of the song. The ending was a bit abrupt, and usually John Phillip Sousa ends his marches with a stinger. You didn't follow the general structure of a march, but that's totally okay, but I'll just tell you what it is anyway:

The Intro: which you did, and a lot of march intros are trumpet fanfares

The First Strain: which you had, which is good

The Second Strain: you had that too, but it's supposed to be a lot louder than the first strain

The Trio: a little quiet feature that sets the melody for the rest of the march

Out Strain: the finisher to the song, which usually has the melody of the trio, but is pretty loud and extra brassy.
