During World War II, the U.S. military employed all-female bands to support bond drives. These bands drew such attention that they were placed on tour, raising money for the war and boosting morale. Even after the war ended, the bands would last for some 60 years. Based on Jill Sullivan's interviews with over 70 surviving band members, Bands of Sisters: U.S. Women's Military Bands during World War II tells the tale of this remarkable period in the history of American women. The opportunities presented by military service inevitably promoted new perspectives on what women could accomplish outside of the home, resulting in a lifetime of lasting relationships that would inspire future generations of musicians.

Brass Bands of the World: Militarism, Colonial Legacies, and Local Music Making by Suzel Ana Reily,Katherine Brucher Pdf
Bands structured around western wind instruments are among the most widespread instrumental ensembles in the world. Although these ensembles draw upon European military traditions that spread globally through colonialism, militarism and missionary work, local musicians have adapted the brass band prototype to their home settings, and today these ensembles are found in religious processions and funerals, military manoeuvres and parades, and popular music genres throughout the world. Based on their expertise in ethnographic and archival research, the contributors to this volume present a series of essays that examine wind band cultures from a range of disciplinary perspectives, allowing for a comparison of band cultures across geographic and historical fields. The themes addressed encompass the military heritage of band cultures; local appropriations of the military prototype; links between bands and their local communities; the spheres of local band activities and the modes of sociability within them; and the role of bands in trajectories toward professional musicianship. This book will appeal to readers with an interest in ethnomusicology, colonial and post-colonial studies, community music practices, as well as anyone who has played with or listened to their local band.

The Military Band (Classic Reprint) by George Miller Pdf
Excerpt from The Military Band Fifty years ago the soldier did not interest anybody, and it was only "when the drums began to roll" that he was even remembered. He lived and worked in prison-like barracks, entirely shut off from the rest of the world by a high brick wall surmounted by chevaux de frise, and with a prejudice on top of all. The bands of that time were good, quite as good on the average as they are to-day, but were seldom heard except on duty; the musicians were as isolated, socially, as the private soldiers, and the bandmaster himself was regarded rather as a "musical curiosity" than as a musician. But the wonder-age has altered all that: the walls are down, the frise melted, even the prejudice has disappeared; the soldier now lives his life openly, and goes about his work from morning till night for all the world to see, and when his days work is done, becomes, if he chooses, a civilian. The civilian, for patriotic reasons, and attracted by the manly, play-like work of the soldier, himself becomes a soldier in his spare time, and so the two meet in a common citizenship. As with the rank and file, so it ought to be with musicians, and it is incumbent upon the military side to appreciate the increasing interest that is being taken in military music, and to encourage such a very desirable state of things. "It is becoming more and more necessary that military musicians should be in accord and touch with the musical profession, and should have some real interest as regards what is occurring in the musical world; and unless this is so we may look in vain for any real improvement." What more interesting sight is there than that of the King's Guard as it passes down the avenue in St. James's Park on a summer morning?

Squire's Warren Junior Military Band by Janne Hurrelbrink-Bias Pdf
Squire's Warren Junior Military Band had an emotional appeal that endeared it to audiences of all ages. Considered one of northeastern Ohio's richest artistic assets, the band's members, who hailed from the entire region, were filled with pride, tradition, patriotism, and a sense of discipline. The original VFW Boys Band was formed in 1927, with Donald W. "Squire" Hurrelbrink becoming director in 1930. In 1957, the name changed to the Warren Junior Military Band. Travels took the band from the East Coast to the West Coast, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and to audiences abroad, amassing an impressive record of Midwest, Canadian, European, American Legion, and VFW National Championships. Throughout the years, the band performed at numerous prestigious events and for an impressive number of dignitaries, as well as a phenomenal number of local, civic, and patriotic festivities. Members were privileged to have Squire's leadership for 66 years. Alumni continued to lead, direct, and pass on the values they learned under Squire's guidance. Finally, in 2010, the band ended its long legacy.
