Stars and Stripes Forever!

We know that tune very well. In fact we take it for granted when we hear it in parades or on the Fourth of July. No ball game will be complete without it and anyone who's been in the middle or high school band would know how to play it. And it's the Stars and Stripes Forever march. It was composed by John Philip Sousa. It's also our national march because congress made it so in US Code Title 36, Section 304

Today is the day that Stars and Stripes Forever! was performed for the first time in public in Philadelphia in 1897. You can listen to the recording by Edison here. Check out these lyrics too!

Stars and Stripes Forever!

Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.

Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.

Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.

Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.

Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,

That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
