American composer. Known for his many marches, including "The Stars and Stripes Forever" (1897), "The Washington Post" (1889), and "El Capitan" (1895). Born to a military band trombonist, he learned violin and solfège from an early age. After leading the Marine Band in Washington from 1880 to 1892, he formed the Sousa Wind Orchestra himself, toured the world several times, and was called the "March King." In addition to 140 marches, he also composed 11 operettas and 12 suites, and invented the sousaphone, an improved version of the tuba, laying the foundation for modern wind bands.
