Meredith Wilson wrote everything for the Broadway musical, The Music Man; the book, the music, the lyrics. But he’s remembered best for writing 76 Trombones, the rousing and unmistakably American favorite of marching bands all over the world. Wilson himself once played in John Phillip Sousa’s band. This performance of 76 Trombones is from the 1962 film, The Music Man, starring Robert Preston and Shirley Jones.
