ICE CREAM SOCIAL 2009 PT 1

You're listening to a recording of the John Philip Sousa Band in 1894. Celebrating the 200th aniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the Eagle Historical Society presents the Palmyra-Eagle Community Band's "A Tribute To Lincoln And Sousa". John Philip Sousa's father was a member of the U.S. Marine Band during the Civil War and played countless times for the President. Sousa grew up hearing these melodies that had a strong influence on him. While our future bandmaster never personally met the tall man, he was destined to share a place in the heart of every American as both would become lasting symbols of our beloved nation. Eagle Cub Scout, Pack 54, under the leadership of Cub Master Amy Butenhoff, participated in a flag ceremony and the pledge of Allegiance to start off the concert.
