"Black Horse Troop" March, Dedicated to
Troop A, of That City, Played There for
First Time
At the recent appearance of Sousa and His
Hand in Cleveland, ()., they were greeted with
hundreds of billboard signs heralding the mili-
tary dedication of "The Black Horse Troop,"
which was written for Troop A, of that city.
Advertising Sousa
Similar publicity was carried in the daily pa-
pers, arousing unusual interest in the occasion.
Sousa has been the recipient of many color-
ful demonstrations, but the recent dedication
doubtless eclipsed them all. On the day of the
concert seven Cleveland school bands paraded
the main streets, each playing "The Black Horse
Troop," and Sousa was escorted from the train
by Troop A itself.
The concert was a grand finale of numerous
preliminaries. As the March King lifted his
baton for the opening bars of "The Black Horse
Troop," trumpets blared and Troop A, mount-
ed and in full military dress, took a position be-
hind the band in regular formation.
"The Black Horse Troop," as well as Sousa's
other new march, "The National Game," ap-
pears in all his concert programs in his present
trans-continental tour. Special display material
for Sousa's local appearances has been produced
by the Sam Fox Publishing Co., the publisher
of the two marches, and is available gratis.
