The Sousa National High School Honors Band

******* July 1-16, 2010 *******

Americas Most Prestigious Band

The first Sousa National High School Honors Band was organized in 1981 and has been held biennially since that time. The 2005 band was the thirteenth band to be organized. It was  composed of 100 high school juniors and seniors. Rehearsals and associated activities (June 14-18) took place at Loyola University in New Orleans, where the students were housed. The concert was scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, June 18, followed by a banquet in the evening. Students were chaperoned by band directors (chosen from directors of participating students) and rehearsed by Col John R. Bourgeois, USMC (Ret.), former director of the United States Marine Band, "The President's Own."    We look forward to being able to bring about the Sousa National High School Honors Band as a 16 day European tour in 2010 during July 1-16.
