Johan Wichers, who was also known as The March King, was a trumpeter in the band in Nordhorn from 1905. Although he had no formal musical training, he managed to become a famous composer of marches. His march compositions were often based on his personal experiences. He wrote the “Mars der Medici” to thank the doctors who had cared from him during a long recovery in hospital. “Mars der Medici” may even have the right to be called a “hit”.
