Vintage Photo Gallery

Exhibited here is a collection of remarkable photos extant in our archives.   They date from 1865 until present day.  Though the photos are certainly nostalgic to behold, the gallery's purpose is to bring attention to the band's musical heritage and it's role in national events.

It is not a complete pictorial history.   In fact, the band's inception (1817) predates photography.   Also, several fires during the past one hundred years destroyed many photos and documents...  The images scanned here were chosen either for their historical significance, intriguing matter, or detail.  They were mostly donated by retirees or Band alumni.
