We have begun to compile a list of American marching bands involving children. We have found civic, fraternal, school, Scout, and other bands. Many but not all are marching bands. We do not yet have many 19th century finds. We see a few portraits of individuak boys. Most of our infornation on 20th cetury bands come from the 20th century. School marching bands are the best known and are by far the most common. But there are many other youth bands bands such bands, including commercial ones. In the late 19th and eraly-20th centuries there were groups recruitingb boys from poor families to perform around the country. We see fraternal, muniipal, oeohange, and school bands. Some of the bands we have found include Roney's Boys Cocert Band (1908), the Independence Kansas Rotary Boy's Band (about 1920), Sutton School Band (1923), the D.Z. Phillips Boys Band (1925), and the Haddam School Band (1940s).
We note quite a number of bands sponsored by various groups in the early-20th century. By the end of the 20th century, however, we only see school bands. This of course greatly increased the number of bands. Most high schools of any size have mrching bands.
