First John Philip Sousa Memorial Band

Sheri and I first heard the First John Philip Sousa Memorial Band perform at the Sheldon Theatre in Red Wing, Minnesota in September, 1997. They continue to entertain us on a regular basis and there's rarely a month that goes by without our attending one of their concerts

I've had a special request to make Chambers' Trombone Section available.  So there it is.  Enjoy!

A technical glitch affected recording this evening's concert. The result was failure to record the first two songs and recording the remainder of the concert using a makeshift recorder setup. Nevertheless, the recording sounded good while being monitored and in initial listening while converting the raw recording to an MP3 file. In the coming days/weeks we'll "slice and dice" this performance into individual song files. In the meantime, here's the available recording, from Bolivar through The Stars and Stripes Forever , as a single, large (48,450,422 bytes, or about 46.2 MB).  Please note that this file includes the ISGs (Inter Song Gaps) that are normally removed.

I normally attend, and record, all of the Sousa Band concerts during the Winter season, if we're in town. This one was a rare occasion since I was in town, but busy with another obligation.
