Charles Delaware Staigers was an American cornetist. He was born on August 20, 1899 in Muncie, Indiana.[1] In 1914, he was hired to play in Patrick Conway's band.[2] In 1918, he joined John Philip Sousa's band as the assistant to cornet soloist Frank Simon. He stayed with John Philip Sousa through 1920.[3] He played "Taps" at John Philip Sousa's funeral.[2] After leaving Sousa, he became first trumpeter at The Hippodrome and later at The Strand Theatre in New York City.[2] In 1926, he joined the Goldman Band. His first appearance with The Goldman Band in Central Park before a crowd of over 25,000 people drew vociferous applause and bravos.[2] He played with The Goldman Band through 1934,[4] and also for the 1942 season.[5]

He died on July 12, 1950, at age 50.[1] In the words of Edwin Franko Goldman, Staigers was the "greatest cornetist in the world".[6]
