As I posted earlier, I have been able to identify 35 men who played the Sousaphone in Sousa's Band between the time that instrument was invented (1895) and the time that great band came to an end (1931). Here are the newspaper notices for 12 of those men, announcing when they had been recruited to play with Sousa:
