Historic Photos to show some of the past of the Bangor Band. Click on each thumbnail and you will then see a large photo open up in another window. Some are quite large, so they may take awhile depending on the speed of your system.
PICTURES COURTESY OF THE BANGOR BAND & Robert Pentland

Bangor Band - Memorial Day 1898	Bangor Band - circa 1864
This is the Bangor Band at a muster held in Augusta, Maine in August 1884. The larger picture will show a decent view of the men in uniform and their instruments. R. B. Hall is holding his cornet in the back row (be patient- it is a large file).
	The two pictures probably date from the late 19th century. Notice in the top picture the drum major's baton in the foreground and the bugles on the table in the tent. Both photographs survived a Bangor fire in 1911 and show some distress as a result of that fire.
