Two Hemispheres #9

This group must have come from the Polack Show.
Bee Carsey was the band leader who put the score together for the Besalou Elephants that I later worked to, that included a thundering piece of music for the opening drill.
Prince (something) Overture. Not "Prince Igor".
Maybe Eric can jog my memory.

Other than the Polovetzian Dances from PRINCE IGOR by Borodin, the only other two pieces which come to mind are PRINCE OF PILSEN by Luders and PRINCE OF DECORAH galop by P.G. Lowery.

Another likely candidate could be TROJAN PRINCE OVERTURE by G. E. Holmes. It was published by C.L. Barnhouse, which also published most of the classic circus numbers written by K.L. King, Fred Jewell, Merle Evans, etc.

This wasn't a galop, the tempo was was almost like a machine gun.
