  • "Part 1 shows us the beginnings of the band movement and we explore the early instruments and how they originated in Europe. We see historical footage of how bands were formed and the kinds of music they played. This first part takes us through almost 200 years of history up to the 1920s. Part 2 picks up where we leave off with the Marine Band and the great Sousa. We see how bands have become integrated into our educational system and many great performance segments from the jazz era through the great college and high school bands of today. -- Container."@en

  • "Documentary traces the American band movement from the town bands of the 1800's through professional bands, including that of John Philip Sousa, portrayed by Keith Brion, to the military and the bands that are today part of almost every college and high school in the country."
  • "This two-part documentary shows how bands have changed throughout our 200-year history as America has changed. Social, political, and economic events of our lives have become inseparable from the music of the band. Part 1 illustrates the rise of the town band movement in the 19th century through professional bands, including that of John Philip Sousa. Part 2 traces band movements of the 20th century: military bands, scholastic bands, and jazz."
