The versatile Dutch composer Kees Vlak (Amsterdam 1938) proves that also he knows how to write a fine march. 'Marching Time' is a kind of pastiche of a thrilling swing march as introduced with US Air Force Bands by Glenn Miller's version of 'Saint Louis Blues March'.
Vigorous drum solos give this modern march a martial character so that it can easily be used as an original quick march.
This march was composed in 1980 and was commissioned by the S.O.M.N.O., the then umbrella organization for all Dutch band associations.
