BOYS! HO BOYS!! The BOYS Band of
the Grove City High School was organized in May 1917. There were so many
applications for admission to tile already famous High School Orchestra,
organized a few years earlier, to play brass implements, that to satisfy
the desire of these boys and other simple minded in years to come, the
principal “spoke it over” with the Board of Education and secured
their O. K. for the venture. Weekly practices
began sometime after the band was organized. Through the kindly
assistance of several splinters of the Board of Education and the Grove
City National Bank, a new set of standard instruments were bought.
Through the kindness of the Grove City Commercial Club a set of parade
pajamas were secured for the boys. Up to the present
time the Band had one or two practices. At present, however, band
practice is held (for those that get there on time) from 8:30 to 9:55 A.
M., with darned little credit for it. The Boys’ Band
made its first public appearance sometime in - - well, it is sufficient
to say that the boys put over a successful
musical comedy. The Boys Band of
Grove City High School was probably the first
school band in Western Pennsylvania. At
