BHS band with first-ever uniforms
Bluffton High School's marching band history goes at 90 school years. The first band, according to the Bluffton High School yearbook, was organized in 1925-26.
Here's the band in 1930-31, wearing the first-ever uniforms of the band. This band placed second in the Northwestern Ohio Instrumental Eisteddof held at Ada.
Band competing at that event were Bowling Green, Ada, Fostoria, Lima Central and Bluffton. Fostoria's band won the contest.
The band members are identified by instrument they play, not in their standing order. Sidney Hauenstein directed the band.
