Dear All,
If you have not seen the new Sousa Band book, The Incredible Band of John Philip Sousa, and are a fan of Sousa, please check the new from Paul Bierley:

I am a little partial because I had a very small part in the creation of the book, but this is an amazing source on the Sousa Band. I don't have my copy in front of me (my wife took it to a concert today), but it includes a listing of all the musicians who performed in the band, a listing of all the concerts (tours, Willow Grove, etc.), concert programs, history of the band, solists, pieces they played, a ton of photos, instrumentation of the band throughout the years, etc.
If you have interest in the band history, this is just an incredible source.
