El Capitan (March from the Operetta "El Capitan") - Concert Band
Item number 8898992CC, $60.00

The best known of Sousa's operettas is "El Capitan". First performed in 1896, the operetta was a success, and Sousa then rewrote the men's chorus section in the second act, and created the march we now know as "El Capitan". Don't worry though - this isn't choir music. "El Capitan" march is Sousa at the height of his creative career, and this Frederick Fennell edited rendition is sure to occupy an esteemed place in your band library.
