“The inattention of the Fritz Scheel players to Sousa’s conducting stirred up such rancor between the two groups of musicians that the Americans threatened fisticuffs if the slight continued. After polite applause greeted the Scheel orchestra’s performance of Mignon, Sousa’s band played an impeccable William Tell, and, during a thunderous ovation, Sousa did what he called ‘the meanest thing in my life.’”
