蘇沙樂團 The Sousa Band
因為受歡迎且薪資優渥，蘇沙樂團有能力招募當代最優秀的音樂家加入。
39年來，樂團都搭乘火車移動，蘇沙樂團的巡迴可能長達兩個月之久，每天都有好幾場表演、只有在移動的路途上有休息的機會。樂團在美國大小城鎮之間表演，還進行了幾次歐洲巡迴、一次全球巡迴的演奏行程。統計起來該樂團旅行了超過一百萬英里的路途，還仍然可以找到放鬆、休閒的時間，樂團擁有自己的棒球隊，蘇沙擔任投手，與地方棒球隊、其他樂團組成的棒球隊進行比賽；蘇沙還為了棒球寫出一條和棒球有關、名為「全國性競賽」的進行曲。
With its popular reputation and good wages, the Sousa Band was able to recruit some of the best musicians around.
For 39 years, this large group toured the country by train. A Sousa Band tour would last for many months, often with several performances each day and only a few days off for travel between cities. The band traveled to every corner of the United States and did several European tours and one world tour. Together they traveled more than 1 million miles, and they still managed to find the time for other fun. The band had its own baseball team, and Sousa was the pitcher. They played against local baseball teams and those of rival bands. Sousa even wrote a march song about baseball called "The National Game."
