Band uniforms

When the 2nd bandstand was built in 1901, official uniforms were provided for the 10 member band.  There are pictures showing uniforms as early as 1889. The band in 2024 and a few years earlier were furnished with shirts having a bandstand emblem on them which are only worn on special occasions. Some of you might remember the middle individual on the front row, Othel Gibbs.
