From Georgia's early band history with African American members, to the lively rhythms of the suffrage parade and New Year's celebrations, music has been an integral part of our cultural tapestry. Brass bands serenaded new beginnings, while waits brought joy during the holiday season. Jazz musicians ignited the Roaring Twenties, and circus elephant bands added excitement to the big top. In silent films, music came alive, from the comedic antics of Syd Chaplin in 'The Better 'Ole' to the enchanting melodies of unseen scores. Through it all, the tubist played on, adding depth and richness to each note and moment in time.
