Twenty-Second Regiment Band Promenade Concert

“Gilmore’s Twenty-Second Regiment Band are prepared to furnish music for concerts, balls, &c.”

“Mr. Gilmore concluded on Saturday evening a series of brilliant promenade concerts at the armory of the Twenty-second Regiment. The energetic Mr. Gilmore is evidently determined to redeem his promise of making this regimental band the finest one in the world. He has called about him men of eminent skill as soloists on their several instruments. This not only gives firmness to his band by making a nucleus of very superior players, but enables him to make his concerts interesting by solo performances of a high order of merit.

The great armory was thronged with an audience evidently intelligent and appreciative. This series of concerts has been marked by such success that another has been resolved upon, the first of which will be given on Saturday evening of this week.”

Brief. “The rivalry between the bands of the Twenty-second and Seventy-first regiments—Gilmore’s and Eben’s—is inciting the musicians of both organizations to renewed efforts.”
