Sousa was a master. I may go visit his grave today. He wrote the Illinois March for my Alma Mater as he loved their marching band, and left most of his belongings and archives to them.

My most favorite march is "Stars and Stripes Forever" because my mother played the piccolo part. I remember her practicing that part over and over and to this day I can sing that part. It never fails to bring me to tears. As I'm a professional violinist, I don't get to play that part but I always hear it and think of my mother.

When I hear music like this, I feel proud to be an American woman...from Fort Worth, Texas...

We played a lot of his marches in high school and I loved them!

In the year 2200 the Beatles and Taylor Swift will be long forgotten but Sousa will be played as much as ever.

Ironically, Sousa didn't like to march! After leaving the Marine Band he was more interested in concert performances with his band.. The Sousa Band only marched one time. That was for the Sesquicentennial Exhibition in Washington, DC. in 1926.

Dude was indeed goated with the sauce.



The etymology of the former sentence will doubtlessly be lost to time. Give it 50 years and literally nobody will be able to decipher it.

What a finish! I had to turn the volume all the way up. I remember playing some of those many years ago. Still enjoy them. Thanks.

Sousa has to be one of the greatest composers in history...from Fort Worth, Texas

I actually like it when the marches get very quiet, and then are followed by a forte passage.
