Ensemble

Drumright Municipal Band

Fred Russell was manager, James A. Brill permanent director, and J. W. Pinkston secretary-treasurer; a membership roll was made up and weekly practice held.

The documented story

The February 22 report confirms organization and planned concerts, but not a complete later lifespan.

People and leadership

The three named officers are bounded to the February 1921 organization report.

Community and organization

Rotary and civic support are documented; tax funding and later sponsorship are not established.

Reading the evidence

The earlier petition and scheduled first rehearsal are not treated as the completed organization; no identity with Drumright High School Band is inferred.
