- Description
- Photo of the Cement Company band posing with their instruments. The band was made up of both cement company employees and other musicians from the town. Nicknamed the Kilty Band, their uniform consisted of kilts, plaids, red tunics, gaiters and Glengarry caps.
This was a brass band although it sometimes included some pipers. Presumably the bass in the front row was for concerts, not parades.
Two are identified:
Wellington Ball Ard is in the back row, fifth from the left
James T. McLaughlin is in the back row, third from left. McLaughlin was an electrical and a friend of the Alberts family. - Notes
