John Philip Sousa Comes to Columbus

OK...maybe not THE Sousa, but as close as any of us will ever get. Keith Brion brings his New Sousa Band to Weigel Auditorium just in time to celebrate Independence Day with Central Ohio.  Not only is the New Sousa Band designed to look like Sousa's own group, but to sound like them as well.  Keith Brion and I spoke about the New Sousa Band.  You'll find a few highlights of that conversation below.
