Generally forming a full boys' orchestra was difficult. Many communiies did not have the ability to form orchestras in gneral, let along boys' orcestra. More common was a boys' band. These wee often, but not always marching bands. But there were also cpnsert bands as well. We do not have a lot of information on these bands. They appeared in many European countries. We now a little about America. These concerts in America might be given from the gazebo in the parks that many small towns had. They were particularly popular in the late-19th and early 20th century. They seem to have often had basic uniforms. At this time mothers became increasingly interested in having their children learn musical instruments. These community bands began to become less common after World War I.
