It is in regimental march form (I-AA-BB-CC-DD) and is a popular selection for school concert and marching bands, as well as for professional orchestras and bands. The march has been arranged for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles, and has been frequently recorded, including at least two recorded performances by Sousa's own band. The march's final strains were featured in the 1939 film ''The Under-Pup''. ==History== In 1888, John Philip Sousa composed ''The March Past of the National Fencibles'', in honor of a renowned militia drill team affiliated with the National Guard of the District of Columbia. In 1890, the rival drill team of the Washington High School (subsequently Washington Central) asked Sousa, a native of the District, to compose a march for them, and he obliged with ''The High School Cadets March'', now generally known simply as ''High School Cadets''. ''High School Cadets'' quickly became one of Sousa's most popular marches. Just four years after its composition, the Nebraska State Journal listed it as one of the composer's "most notable" marches, along with ''Washington Post March'', ''Liberty Bell March'', and several others. It was recorded by Sousa's Grand Concert Band around 1899 and has been frequently recorded ever since (see Recordings). The march was published in 1890 by Philadelphia music publisher Harry Coleman in arrangements for band, for piano solo and for several other small instrumental ensembles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digital.gonzaga.edu/cdm/ref/collection/p15486coll3/id/15794 )〕(see Arrangements.) Subsequently the copyright was picked up by Carl Fischer Music of New York,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://imslp.org/wiki/The_High_School_Cadets_%28Sousa,_John_Philip%29 )〕 which continues to list the march in its catalog, both in the original form and in a modern arrangement. The copyright on the original score was renewed by Sousa in 1918; it has now expired and the work is in the public domain in the United States. ''High School Cadets'' continues to be frequently performed, both by professional ensembles and by amateur and school bands.
