The band next played Karl King's march The Three Musketeers.
The Three Musketeers, published in 1930, was dedicated to Doug Hatton, a member of the band when Karl King arrived in Fort Dodge in late fall, 1920. Hatton was with the band for more than 40 years, and served as the band’s librarian.
Doug Hatton’s son, the late Thomas J. Hatton, also a band member for many years, wrote two books about Karl King and the history of the Band. The first, published in 1975, was titled Karl L. King: An American Bandmaster; and the second book was titled Hawkeye Glory. In the audience this evening were two special guests, Tom Hatton’s wife, Lois, and their son, Doug coming from Lawrence, Kansas.

For their second selection, this Brass group performed The Saints Hallelujah!, originally written for The Canadian Brass. This clever arrangement combines Handel’s The Hallelujah Chorus and When the Saints Go Marching In.
This version of The Saints Hallelujah! was arranged by ISU Director of Band Michael Golemo.
