The band was scheduled to begin another cross-country tour soon, and Sousa knew he had to return to America right away to take over the band&#8217;s business affairs. Sousa tells the rest of the story in his autobiography,&nbsp;<em>Marching Along<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;Here came one of the most vivid incidents of my career. As the vessel (the Teutonic) steamed out of the harbor I was pacing on the deck, absorbed in thoughts of my manager&#8217;s death and the many duties and decisions which awaited me in New York. Suddenly, I began to sense a rhythmic beat of a band playing within my brain. Throughout the whole tense voyage, that imaginary band continued to unfold the same themes, echoing and re-echoing the most distinct melody. I did not transfer a note of that music to paper while I was on the steamer, but when we reached shore, I set down the measures that my brain-band had been playing for me, and not a note of it has ever changed.&#8221;\u2014 John Philip Sousa (1928)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"tadv-color\">Composed on Christmas Day in 1896, the march was an immediate success, and The Sousa Band played it at almost every concert until Sousa&#8217;s death more than 25 years later. It became the official march of the United States of America in 1987 through an Act of U.S. Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n
