marching songs
Troops' rhythmic tunes
Marching songs are music with a strong, regular beat suited to synchronized walking, especially by soldiers or protesters.
The rhythm keeps groups moving in step and builds morale: The troops sang marching songs on the long road to camp.
Many have call-and-response patterns or repetitive choruses that make them easy to learn and sing while moving.
