Here is a brand new show guaranteed to lift your
spirits, saturate you in nostalgia and fill you
with patriotic pride! Written especially for the
Fine Arts market by Prince/SF's president, Ken
Malucelli, with the consent and cooperation of the
Sousa family's representation, the show is designed
to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of
John Philip Sousa, "The March King," in 2004.
With a cast of six plus a 21-piece band, the show
is written as a patchwork of vignettes criss-crossing Sousa's life as a master bandleader/composer/
arranger/author/speaker, and features some of the
most beloved music ever written...tunes which are
still being played and played again, and which remain
in the repertoire of concert bands worldwide: Semper
Fidelis; Washington Post; El Capitan; Liberty Bell;
U.S. Field Artlillery: and, of course, the official
march of the United States, Stars and Stripes Forever.
With humor and history, songs and stories, waltzes
and marches, this is an ideal show for all ages...
a show for the ages!
