Notes	Set of folders with music glued inside to form pages. Composed in 1881. "The Yorktown (Virginia) Centennial was held to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the last important battle of the Revolutionary War: the surrender at Yorktown. Sousa, then leader of the U.S. Marine Band, composed this march for the event and dedicated it to Colonel H.C. Corbin, master of ceremonies of the centennial. "Another printing of the same march was issued in 1900 as 'Sen Sen.' This was part of a promotion scheme of the T.B. Dunn Company of Rochester, New York, a subsidiary of the Sen Sen Chicklet Company. It is not known whether or not Sousa was a part of this business venture." The Works of John Philip Sousa pg. 98 Paul E. Bierley Integrity Press 1984
