Fučík spent most of his life as the leader of military brass bands. He was a prolific composer, with over 300 marches, polkas and waltzes to his name. As most of his work was for military bands he is sometimes known as the Bohemian Sousa.
Today his marches are still played as patriotic music in the Czech Republic. However his world wide reputation rests on one work, his opus 68 march the Entrance of the Gladiators (Vjezd gladiátorů), which is ubiquitously played as the theme tune of the clowns in a circus.

Thunder and blazes isn't by Julius Fučík, he made Entry of the gladiators and then some canadian boy copied it and made thunder and blazes

AKA "Entry of the Gladiators." But why do they have a piano for an Army band? Do they wheel that thing down the street while the pianist is playing?

there were only brass instruments in the original one, no piano
lmao this isn't a name
Back in the day it took a horse or two. Plus 3 men to bring the war-piano to the battlefield.

Army band? what evidence gives you that idea? If you'll look, you'll see the piano was not played during this piece. Sheesh!
