Karl King is known and loved as a composer of marches. His first march was published when he was only 17, He composed more than 200 marches which have been performed and enjoyed throughout the world. In 1909, when at the age of 18, he had already written several marches, he joined the Robinson Circus Band as a baritone player. In 1913, he became part of the famed Barnum and Bailey's Circus Band. That same year, he wrote Barnum and Bailey's Favorite, 'There is no doubt that this was Mr. King's favorite march, The story of King's accomplishments serves as an inspiration to young and old, just as the awe-inspiring strains of his stirring compositions help to keep alive patriotism and pride in our American heritage, It is doubtful that there is anyone whose emotions, patriotism, loyalty, and devotion to our country are not stirred by the vibrant sounds of a great march!
