Written by John Philip Sousa in appreciation of an honor given to him by the Board of Directors of the 1893 St. Louis Exposition, The Directorate was one of the first pieces that he composed for his newly formed Sousa Band. Featuring lively wind parts, contrasting dynamics, interesting harmonic twists in the trio, and a rousing final strain, this march is ideal for teaching the classic march style.Re-scored for the contemporary concert band's instrumentation from Sousa's original Carl Fischer composition, this march is now ready to be discovered by a new generation of performers.
