A Brief History of the Band
As recounted by Bob Brimmer
The band coalesced during the 4th of July Parade in Wellfleet in 1979. Janet Bell actually organized the deal. She called everyone she knew who could make noise on a musical instrument. The group went by some goofy name. A banner was created and still may be in the Wellfleet Historical sollection. The drum major was a plummer who made a mace from a toilet plunger covered in tin foil, as I remember it. He was one of many local characters. E pluribus unum.
There were maybe 15 or 20 of us. We played "When the Saints Come Marching In" and maybe "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic". All Memory. Little or no harmony.
That winter we gathered in the Studio home of Cliff Webb. We tried to play some grade 4 Christmas Carols. Cliff played flute. Not long after that a few of the informal gathering decided to try to pull a more formal organization together. Tom Kane was probably the one responsible for getting the Truro Town Hall.
