Stars and Stripes or other interesting Sousa marches

I got called today to do an interview in a series of "unusual instruments" about the sousaphone next week for radio brandenburg in germany.

In the interview I would like to play and talk about examples of modern and traditional/historical "sousaphone music", for example, stars and stripes or other Sousa marches, as well as modern funky sousaphone lines.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions and/or have parts to send from Sousa or other related marches??? THANKS!!!

What comes to mind for me is (although it's not Sousa) is E.E. Bagley's National Emblem, particularly the beginning of the trio section.

ah, yes, National Emblem...this was the pre-game wonder of my high school marching band!

as far as funky, get some Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Kirk Joseph, especially, did some great stuff, often too far out for my taste though.

"Colossus of Columbia" isn't by Sousa either, but has a very cool part.
