McKinney Firemen's Band
McKINNEY FIREMEN'S BAND
McKinney Weekly Democrat , May 2, 1901
A Splendid Body of Music Makers -- Now in the Uniform
McKinney can now boast of one of the best bands in North Texas. It was organized about a year ago since when by careful management, incessant practice and considerable sacrifice, on the part of the members. The McKinney Firemen's Band has become a fixed and important feature of our little city.
Its twenty-six members have lately donned bright new uniforms and to-morrow evening at 6 o'clock, the band contemplates giving their first daylight open air concert on the court house plaza in its new attire. Its equipments are all new and first-class, its music of high order in quality and execution, and its open air concerts during the summer promise some good enjoyment in store for our citizens. Many of our enterprising citizens are taking stock in the bank at 50 cents per share per month for six months. This helps the boys to defray their incidental expenses and gives the subscriber an honorary membership in the band.
We hope to see all our businessmen do likewise and thus encourage the boys in their efforts to maintain a superior band. The officers and members are:
Will Lake ---- President
Jesse Warden ---- Sec. and Treas.
Paul Harris ---- Leader and Instructor
Guy Rambo ----Drum Major
Paul Harris ----Solo Bb cornet
Lin Cantwell----1st Bb cornet
Will Edwards----1st Bb cornet
