The march played by the military band in the film "The Dirty Dozen" was "National Emblem" by Edwin Eugene Bagley. The march was composed in 1902 and published in 1906, and has become a standard of the American march repertoire. It is the most famous of all of Bagley's marches.
as per my memory about "The Dirty Dozen" the march played by military band was "National Emblem" by John Philip Sousa.it was really great effort.this movie was launched in ank De Vol did most of the sound tracks for The Dirty Dozen.simply it was the best performance as per my opinion.
If you referring to the song I'm thinking of, I was wondering the same thing when I saw the movie! I believe the song is John Philip Sousa's "National Emblem".
The piece is actually a medley of two marches. It begins with the second theme of Bagley's "National Emblem", through the breakstrain, and then it picks up with "Semper Fideles", which is a Sousa march.
You are correct sir except that the composer is not Sousa but E.E. Bagley. add a comment
There was another march played about the same time in the movie. That is the one I'm looking for add a comment
