As I recall, it is heard in a scene outdoors where Columbo is talking to
Col Rumford. Cadets are marching around
and we hear this tune in the background.
(I am not 100% sure if Rumford is in the
scene or not along with Columbo). This is somewhere in the middle of the episode.

OK. I will have to keep an eye out for when the next time the show pops up around here, it's only on 2 days a week here.
What's your favorite episode? Mine is Troubled Waters!! Ship or a Boat!!! I know, the He-- with it!!

I am certain that this tune is also played during one of the scenes of the movie "The Dirty Dozen."

I have been collecting movies lately, so that will be one for my list of ones to get,Thanks!!

David, you are exactly right! It is featured prominently in The Dirty Dozen.........one of my favourite movies.

Amazon's page for the Dirty Dozen soundtrack includes previews of all its tracks if thast's any help.

Love them Sousa marches! I first got introduced to them in Navy bootcamp in the '60's. I know I'm prejudiced, but there's nothing more stirring then seeing sailors marching in formation, with their dress blues and white leggings! Still gives me goosebumps, and proud to be an American

you are wonderful peck!!!
