Does a roll of "Gridiron Club March" exist?  Sousa wrote a very large
number of marches, most of which were done for a particular occasion
or organization, and somewhat quickly dove into obscurity.  This march
has been recorded many times on all sound media, but I have not seen
it on a roll.  Come to think of it, I have not seen it on an Edison
cylinder catalog.  Hmm.

My grandfather was a member of the club, and I attended the annual
dinner in 1966, hence my interest.  Sousa directed the Marine Corps
Band at every dinner while he was director of the band.
