Originally entitled "Blue and Crimson", Ceremonial March is meant to be the most user-friendly processional or recessional piece of music. It is designed so that it can be repeated, both within and da capo, and can be ended at the end of almost every 4-measure phrase. This will make it possible to finish the music when or extend the music until the ceremony is ready to begin.
