The development of Taylor's High School Band program

In 1922, Taylor High School organized a band thanks to the leadership of Miss Haines, the superintendent of music at the time, the Taylor Ex-Student Association, the Rotary Club, the Retail Merchants’ Association, and numerous other Taylorites and school teachers.

I can also picture Mary Moody and her mother Nannie (who was a former THS teacher) actively involved in this endeavor as well, as they were integral in the development of the Wednesday Music Club, which offered music scholarships to THS seniors.

I am so thankful to these forward thinking educators who helped establish this successful organization that has lasted over a century. Just think of all the students who were lucky enough to perform with the high school band! Must be thousands (including me)!
