Sousapalooza

Make Music Day

Since 2011, Make Music Chicago has pioneered the “Sousapalooza” – an invitation for hundreds of brass, wind, and percussion players to come together and sightread the music of The March King, John Philip Sousa.

Sousapaloozas will return in 2023 to cities around the U.S., including New York, Chicago, Lansing MI, and many more – stay tuned for full details. Then download the music, bring your horn, and join the band!
