Sturmbill is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Sousa and other Marching music

One trick I use is to take the trio section and rehearse it as though it is a ballad. It is startling how many nuances come to light when not bombing through the march!

I have also found the Brion/Schissel editions to be real gems in the information they give about performance styles, history of the work, etc.
