Sioux Falls Municipal Band

I've established that music was a life-long pursuit for my grandfather, from his youth in New Hampshire to his final days in North Carolina. But someplace in the middle, he and my grandmother spent a number of summers in South Dakota. This picture of the Sioux Falls Municipal Band dates from 1949 or 1950. 
Here's the line-up for the band, by tier: 4) Ed Paul (standing), Gossman, Smith, Hoover, Branch, Susede (?), RIchardson. Ellis, Jackson, Friedhoff, Alger, Pruner, Marker, Niblic (?), Kittleson, Miller, Henegar. 3) Madeck, Littlehang, Barnett, Askew, Little, Anderson, Lorenson (?), Brooks, Krumrai, Ewing. 2) Larson, Pace, Colwell, Hanson, Hoyt, Weber, Richardson, Wagner, Morgan, Griffith, Lias. 1) Palmer, Tyler (my grandfather), Olsen, Foss. Tietjen (Standing at right?) Cor. not in picture. View full size.

Bandshell still in use

Sioux Falls still maintains and uses this bandshell, in Terrace Park on the near north side of the city. A beautiful park with Japanese Gardens. If you visit Sioux Falls, be sure to find this little gem.

Mea Culpa

Thanks, anonymous. It's right there in the photo -- Sioux Falls! If I'd only thought to trust my eyes... but my fingers often seem to have a mind of their own.

Sioux City is in Iowa

Sioux Falls is in South Dakota. The residents of Sioux Falls would be thoroughly upset if their city was confused with Sioux City. Sioux City residents would probably be flattered.
