The work was composed in 1928 by Sousa for his suite, Tales of Traveler. The title is derived from the traditional egg-rolling in Washington which was initiated by First Lady Dolly Madison in 1816. When President Benjamin Harrison introduced music to the annual event, it was John Philip Sousa, as leader of the United States Marine Band, who conducted on three such occasions before starting his own band.
