Anniversary of the band’s organization.

Large card with program.

Includes program.

“A very large audience was present last night at the Twenty-second Regiment Armory, at the first annual celebration of the organization of Gilmore’s celebrated military band. The band now enjoys the reputation of being one of the best of its kind in the United States, and certainly, to judge from last night’s performance, it deserves that honor. The programme was as follows [lists program]. Miss Colville and Mme. De Ryther were both encored, and Mr. Arbuckle, for a recall, played ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ in his best style. The band has made such marked progress since its first concert a year ago that we may regard it as occupying in military music the same position that Thomas’ organization does in orchestral.”
