Sousa’s Saxes

Sousa’s Saxes perform arrangements of John Philip Sousa’s famous marches and many of the rags, polkas and waltzes that were popular 100 years ago. This group was formed in 2012 to perform at the Burnaby Village Museum to celebrate 100 years of transportation.

The saxophone was a very popular instrument in the first part of the 1900’s. It was so popular that the City of New York had to pass laws about when and where people could practice their Saxophones. Sousa’s Saxes continues to bring the joy and excitement of years gone by through their upbeat, lively music.
