History

A community directory of Thunder Bay music groups gives the Fort William City Band as active from 1904 to the early 1970s, listing it under the orchestral and instrumental groups.[2] A 1940 newspaper photo notice carries a concert advertisement for the band,[3] and the 1920 Henderson's Directory lists William H. Sara as its bandmaster, so the same name is on record in 1904–1970s sources and in the 1964 and 1965 yearbook entries below.
