After Pryor left Sousa\u2019s band as its trombone soloist and assistant conductor in 1903 to take over and reorganize his father\u2019s Pryor Band, Leopold Zimmerman became Sousa\u2019s solo trombonist. Zimmerman\u2019s talented student, Ralph Corey, joined the Sousa Band the following year and in 1908 became the band\u2019s principal trombonist, a position he held until 1920.\u00a0 Each of these world-class trombonists and the many other trombonists who played in the Sousa Band between 1893 and 1931 helped shape the unique performance role of today\u2019s trombone in American wind ensembles.\u00a0 Through historical photographs, concert programs, and music this exhibit explores the different stories and musical contributions made by Arthur Pryor, Leopold Zimmerman, Ralph Corey, Frank Holton, Manuel Yingling, Edward Williams, and Marcus Lyons who both influenced America\u2019s trombone performance practice and played for the John Philip Sousa\u2019s exceptional band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Sousa Band trombone section\u2019s performance to record crowds during Chicago\u2019s Columbian World\u2019s Exhibition in 1893, Sousa\u2019s exceptional trombonists Arthur Pryor, Marcus Lyons, and Edward Williams established a new showmanship standard for playing trombone solos that was emulated by many concert bands throughout America.
