Peut-être qu’ils pensent aux « vieux » à qui le souffle manque . Me souviens que les dernières années c’était pénible pour moi que de jouer au pas de charge 😂
This is the correct tempo. I am a member of the RB Hall Memorial Band of Waterville, Maine. R B Hall lived in Waterville for many years and composed many marches while leading the Waterville Military Band. If marching the tempo is slower. R B Hall himself had a limp and often had to use a cane. Many of his pieces could also be used for dancing the two-step popular in his day. Then they would be faster.
