I, for one, am glad that many band directors don't program marches because most treat them as if they're throw-away pieces or merely crowd pleasers that don't require anything but a bass drum, cymbals, and an up and down baton.
However, my biggest pet peeve is that most marches are played TOO FAST! Marches are marches because you march to them, not run to them. (The "Florentiner" is biggest example of this that I can think of.)
I wish directors would listen to the old recordings.
