Happy Tuesday!
Today is… “The Stars and Stripes Forever” Day
Today’s holiday takes place on the anniversary of the first public performance of “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” and is thus dedicated to the march. The march was first performed on May 14, 1897, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the occasion of the unveiling of a statue of George Washington. President William McKinley was even in attendance.
John Philip Sousa had been the director of the United States Marine Band from 1880 to 1892. The most popular musical star of his era, Sousa was known as the “March King” by the 1890s, and started his own band and toured the country after leaving the Marine band. But at this time, he had yet to write what would become his most well-known piece.
