"High School Cadets" is a march written in 1890 by John Philip Sousa that was played at Smashing Pumpkins live performances in 2007 while the band came onstage. The march was written in honor of the cadet drill team of Washington High School in the District of Columbia, is in regimental march form (I-AA-BB-CC-DD) and is a popular selection for school concert and marching bands, as well as for professional orchestras and bands. The march has been arranged for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles and has been frequently recorded, including at least two recorded performances by Sousa's own band. It is unclear which recording of the song was used at Pumpkins shows, although it was a shortened version of the march, lasting approximately 1 minute.
