"SOUSA AND HIS BAND
With a rattle of drums, a flourish of clarinets, and a blast of trumpets and trombones that startled even the vast spaces of the Albert Hall itself, Mr John Philip Sousa and his American band presented themselves last evening to their first London audience..."
(The Daiy Telegraph, 5 October 1901)

All compositions of Sousa played at this concert could be purchased from the attendants at the Hall.
