University of Miami in 1956 in recognition of his career. Fillmore lived out the rest of his days in South Florida. Music Fillmore wrote over 250 pieces and arranged orchestrations for hundreds more. He published under a variety of pseudonyms, including Gus Beans, Harold Bennett, Ray Hall, Harry Hartley, Al Hayes, and Henrietta Moore. Only the name Will Huff caused any issues, as another Will Huff composed marches and resided in Fillmore's state. Fillmore used many pseudonyms throughout his career and was worried that flooding the market with music published under "Henry Fillmore" would dissuade others from purchasing his music. His pseudonyms are associate with grade, or difficulty level, or genre. In a 1953 interview with Jack H. Mahan, Fillmore explained his pseudonym uses: "Harold Bennett" was easy and non-progressive, if you can play one, you can play them all. "Al Hayes" was a little more difficult. "Will Huff" was a duplicate composer (Fillmore's "Will Huff" was usually easy grade). "Henry Fillmore" could be the easiest marches or the most difficult. "Harry Hartley" are all solos; cornet, trombone, and baritone that are easy grade with no triple-tonguing or cadenzas. Solos under other names are just incidental. "Henrietta Moore" is all twilight songs. While best known for march music and screamers, he also wrote waltzes, foxtrots, hymns, novelty numbers, and overtures. Fillmore's best-known compositions include: "The President's March" (1956) "The Footlifter" (1935) "Americans We" (1929) "Men of Ohio" (1921) "The Man of the Hour" (1924) "His Honor" (1934) "The Klaxon" (1930) "Lassus Trombone" (1915) "(We're) Men of Florida" "Military Escort March" (1923) "Mt. Healthy" (1916) "The Crosley March" "Noble Men" (1922) "Orange Bowl March" (1939) "Rolling Thunder March" (1916) "The Circus Bee" (1908) "King Karl King" (1957) Fillmore gained fame as the "Father of the Trombone Smear", writing a series of 15 novelty tunes featuring trombone smears called "The Trombone Family". A number of these have a strong ragtime influence. The tunes have subtitles printed on the parts, some of which contain racial slurs. Many were advertised specifically to denigrate black people. All of Fillmore's trombone rags are as follows: "Miss Trombone (A Slippery Rag)" (1908) "Teddy Trombone (A Brother to Miss Trombone)" (1911) "Lassus Trombone (The Cullud Valet to Miss Trombone)" (1915) "Pahson Trombone (Lassus Trombone's 'Ole Man')" (1916) "Sally Trombone (Pahson Trombone's Eldest Gal Some Crow)" (1917) "Slim Trombone (Sally Trombone's Cousin- the Jazzin' One Step Kid)" (1918) "Mose
