 Tucson thus far is Sousa's band, en- | gagged for two performances at cost | of .$2500.
 Lieutenant Commander John Phil ] lip Sousa and his 1921 band and solo | ists held their de luxe rehearsal in New York ten days ago in prepara- | tion to the most extensive tour of the great bandmaster's career. The in- strumentalists numbered eighty-fiv lox 1n |, A1l | and served as dedication of the new Wurlitzer Hall in New York. This aggregation is really a sym | phonic band. In the earlier days of the military band there was few | wood winds and before that the old German brass band with no wood winds. Today the Sousa instrumenta- tion numbers as many c1arinets as there are violins in a symphony or chestra, besides choirs of trombones saxaphones and especially large in- struments and particularly the sousa- phone, the largest brass bass instru ment made, having a register equal to the lowest tone of pipe organ, The band will play in Phoenix and Tucson on January and 10.
