Description

Rare, hard-to-find original 1892 booklet program for John Philip Sousa's New Marine Band on December 3rd @ Washington Street Opera House, Rome, New York.  Approx 7x4.5" when folded, program consists of 12pp + covers.  Great full page ads for C.G. Conn band instruments and Steinway pianos!  Also includes concert program (selections), press notices, list of soloists and artists incl. Liberati, Pryor, Norrito, Stengler, Lindh, Galassi.  Nice full page litho of Sousa's reception at The White House upon his resignation as leader of the US Marine Band.  Washington officials would soon take issue with the name of Sousa's new organization and the band's name would change multiple times in the 1890s.  Condition issues: covers have pulled from staple, tears, chipping, crease to cover, weakened spine, paper has yellowed; however, is complete and 100% readable!  Please consider our Buy-It-Now option to avoid disappointment.  Winner pays shipping.  PayPal payment appreciated within two days of purchase - thank you!  All sales final and
