The reverse side of the posters gives "The
Orchestra, Miss Sarah Bigsby.
Story of the Military Band," telling in short
form how the military band originated in west-
ern Europe and consisted originally of a few
drums and fifes. Later oboes were added in
France and sometimes bagpipes in England. In
the latter part of the eighteenth century clari-
nets were introduced, and it gradually super-
seded the oboe because of its greater volume
of sound and its adaptability for marching. I'M
the second half of the nineteenth century the
clarinet section was about one-fourth of the
band, to-day it is approximately one-third of
the whole band. The United States Army
Band is made up of seventy men, twenty-three
of whom are clarinetists.
The history of clarinet making has been slow,
especially so in America. It was not until 1690
that a flute and coin maker in Nuremburg
named J. C. Denncr invented a tubular wind in-
strument producing a tone by a single beating
reed which was in reality the first clarinet. The
clarinet is still improving and to-day we see in-
struments made of metal. To-day some of the
most advanced bands of the country are
equipped with metal instruments, including the
United States Navy Band, United States Army
Band, the United States Army Music School,
Herbert Clarke's Band and other organiza-
tions of similar standing.
