Add keys/time signatures?

An idea I had for this list, adding a column for the key an time signature for each march. It would be useful to sort out the marches by 6/8 vs 2/2, for example. Justin Tokke (talk) 00:24, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did this work. I need help filling out the columns for the marches not in public domain (therefore not easily accessible from the Marine Band). Everything from roughly Old Ironsides down. Justin Tokke (talk) 02:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Date of composition of "Man Behind the Gun"

Why is "Man Behind the Gun" listed as having been composed in 1900 when it was actually composed in 1899? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 22:44, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
