| History |
| The Great Falls Municipal Band started in 1894 as the Black Eagle Band, formed by the town's biggest employer, the Boston Montana Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining Co. The Anaconda Company bougth the smelter in 1910. The band then became affiliated with the city. The Band has performed concerts in the Gibson Park for 128 consecutive seasons making it one of the oldest bands in the nation. Over the years, the Municipal Band has been in demand to play for assorted dignitaries, special events and dedication ceremonies. In the late 1930s the band played at the dedication of the Fort Peck Dam which was attended by President Franklin C. Roosevelt. The band also performed for the visits of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Recently, the organization expanded to include the Community Band and the Community Jazz Band, groups whose mission was similar and congruent with the Municipal Band. |
