Notes	Carl Teike (1864-1922) wrote OLD COMRADES MARCH when, at the age of 22, he was Bandmaster to the 123rd Grenadier Regiment at Ulm, Germany. Teike left Ulm and began a new stage of his career as the "composing policeman" at Potsdam, near Berlin. His marches enjoyed immense popularity everywhere, and with OLD COMRADES he won worldwide fame. it is said that Teike even created a new kind of march, in which "the vigour of Prussian military marches is blended successfully with the tunefulness of Viennese music."
