Answer to Last Month

The Beavertown Boys Band was the last organized band Beavertown has had, at least up until now. It is unlikely another band of this type will ever be formed in the future due to the cost of uniforms, instruments, and due to the time required to practice and play with our busy lives today. Then there are our excellent school bands which fill this role very nicely today.
