The Ringgold Band - Monroe Althouse March King Order Form
Expand
your march library with these complete band arrangements composed by Berks County,
Pennsylvania's own "March King," Monroe Althouse.
Although the Ringgold Band of
Reading has enjoyed many directors throughout its long history, one man stands out as
having contributed greatly to the band's popularity: Monroe
A. Althouse. Born in 1853
in Centre Township, PA, Althouse began his musical career in Reading in the 1870s. He
played violin, cornet and trombone with numerous local orchestras and bands. Before the
turn of the 20th century, he met and became friends with John Philip Sousa, America's
March King.
Althouse was director of the
Ringgold Band from 1901 to 1923 and composed approximately 150 marches, waltzes, and
polkas during his lifetime. He frequently wrote a march to commemorate a specific event,
organization, or person in the Berks County, PA area, eventually earning the respected title of "Reading's March
King." |
