The New Orleans Concert Band performs Sousa's The Beau Ideal at the band's Spring Concert on May 23rd, 2010. The band is an all-voulnteer, community band serving the Greater New Orleans Area since 1975. Conducted by Dr. Charles Taylor.
"Beau Ideal" is one of my favorite Sousa marches. It's nice to see a community band performing one of Sousa's lesser known marches rather than playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" or one of his other marches that are often overly played.
