 On the second floor of the Harding Band Building in Urbana, Illinois, is a museum devoted to a band leader and his love for America. At the University of Illinois, we have a large portion, about 75%, of John Philip Sousa's performing band library. Keith Bean tells the story from the Sousa archives on the campus of the University of Illinois. By the age of 26, John Philip Sousa had ascended to the position of director of the Marine Band, serving in that role for 12 years. What march is it that would put Sousa in the ears and minds of America?
