"TWAS A PRETTY PUNK BAND AT FIRST Carr, who tootles adeptly the base horn, organized the band, which now has 50 pieces, about four months ago. It must be admitted that at first it was a punk band, Half the members of the band didn't know which end of a horn to blow.

Carr has composed his march especially for the band.
