Description

The High School Band: At the beginning of the school year in 1916, there was a call for candidates to form a High School Band. Due to the efforts of Mr. H. D. O'Neil and Mr. Hall C. Dearborn, both members of the Bangor Band and Symphony Orchestra, a band of about twenty-five members was formed. Imagine a band without basses or trombones, and with very few clarinets! That was what Mr. O'Neil, as conductor, had to work with. But in spite of this handicap, a band was organized, and the First Annual Concert and Dance was given in the spring of 1917. Funds were also obtained by the late Horace M. Pullen, who was intensely interested in the project. He was always "a very present help in trouble" during his life, and did much to insure the permanent organization of the Band.
