Most marches reserve the instrumental fireworks for the trio interlude also known as the break-up or dog-fight strain. In Battle Royal composed in 1909 when Jewell's euphonium playing skill was near its peak the lower and upper brass begin their melody-countermelody battle at the introduction and never let up. Battle Royal is the obvious work of a circus musician who knew how to generate circus crowd excitement.
