Authorized Marches Of The Canadian Armed Forces
The following is a list of the notable authorized marches for various organisations of the Canadian Armed Forces. The first march listed is the march most commonly performed for that organisation on parade; it is commonly referred to simply as that organisation's "march" or "march past". In addition, many organisations also have additional pieces for slow marches, marches for mounted parades, pipe marches, etc.; they are subsequently listed and footnoted as applicable. Within each grouping, the organisations are listed in their order of precedence, i.e. the order the organisations would march on parade and the order the marches would be played.

Flag Of The Canadian Forces
The Department of Canadian Heritage lays out protocol guidelines for the display of flags, including an order of precedence; these instructions are only conventional, however, and are generally intended to show respect for what are considered important symbols of the state or institutions. The sovereign's personal standard is supreme in the order of precedence, followed by those for the monarch's representatives (depending on jurisdiction), the personal flags of other members of the Royal Family, and then the national flag and provincial flags. Many museums across Canada display historic flags in their exhibits. The Canadian Museum of History, in Hull, Quebec has many culturally important flags in their collections. Settlers, Rails & Trails Inc., in Argyle, Manitoba holds the second largest exhibit - known as the Canadian Flag Collection.

Minstrel Boy (march)
"The Minstrel Boy" is an Irish song written by Thomas Moore (1779–1852) and published as part of his ''Irish Melodies''. Moore himself came to be nicknamed "The Minstrel Boy", and indeed it is the title of Leonard Strong's 1937 biography of Moore. It is Roud Folk Song Index no. 13867. Publication, sources and popularity The song was published in 1813 as part of Moore's ''Irish Melodies'' project, which spanned the years 1808 to 1834. The record of the melody to which the song is set, ''The Moreen'', begins in 1813 with Moore's publication of it, which is the sole source of the statement that it is a traditional Irish air. There is no prior record, and no source for it has been firmly traced by the several scholars who have looked into the sources for Moore's work. Charles Villiers Stanford published a "restored" collection of Irish songs in 1895, asserting an source for the tune; but scholars Veronica Ní Chinnéide in the 20th century and Una Hunt in the 21st century thin ...

Invercargill March
The Invercargill March is a march composed by Alex Lithgow and named after his home town of Invercargill, on the South Island of New Zealand. The Invercargill rates alongside John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever", Kenneth Alford's "Colonel Bogey March", and Johann Strauss' "Radetsky March" as one of the most popular in the world. It is especially popular in the United States, being a top favourite of the US Marines. It was the Regimental March of the 56th Infantry Regiment of the New York Guard during World War II. In his book ''Invercargill - 150 Years'' Lloyd Esler's opening sentence reads "Invercargill was done a fine favour by Alex Lithgow who named his famous march after his boyhood home. The Invercargill March is possibly the best advertisement the town has ever had as the work is a brass-band favourite and the word ‘Invercargill’ is whispered amongst audiences worldwide. There is only one Invercargill in the world - this one". Origin of the tune It was ...
