This edition presents The Star-Spangled Banner in the celebrated arrangement by John Philip Sousa — the March King himself — whose version of the National Anthem became the standard for American band performances for generations. Sousa's arrangement is distinguished by its bold, ceremonial character, its idiomatic band writing, and the kind of patriotic grandeur that only America's greatest march composer could bring to the National Anthem.

An essential addition to any band's library, this edition offers a print-ready score and parts for immediate performance use at patriotic events, ceremonies, and formal concerts.
