John Philip Sousa: Leader of the Band

Join the Glen Ellyn Historical Society as we welcome veteran actor Terry Lynch as he portrays the American March King, John Philip Sousa!

Join Terry Lynch as he portrays John Philip Sousa, known as the "American March King." As a 13-year-old boy, he ran away to join the circus. He eventually became leader of the United States Marine Corps Band, conducting the President's own Marine Corp band under five presidents. Along the way, he wrote 136 military marches. An exciting story of ambition and perseverance.
