About this book
Great bands of America by Alberta Powell Graham includes a section on municipal bands. The text tells of the Lone Tree Band, whose members practise in a room above the fire department and are led by their bandmaster, who was also the fire chief. The text says the band concert was a big social event, not only in the towns but also in the surrounding communities.
The text says the Marine Band’s playing at the Presidents’ New Year’s receptions has become traditional. The text names Herbert and his cornet, Ern and his trombone, Ed and his violin, and Mr. Clarke and his organ. The text says that at fourteen, Edwin Franko Goldman won a scholarship at the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied composition under the great Antonin Dvorak.
