An announcement of 07/26/69 in the New York Herald makes note of Thomas’s “two unrivalled orchestras.” It is unclear if this means that the Thomas Band also participated in this event. The citations note that Parlow’s Frühlingsmarsch and Strauss’s Die Sirenen, Eile mit Weile, and Disputationen are “new.”
