Youth Band From New York Juvenile Asylum Charms Memorial Day Parade
A brass band from the New York Juvenile Asylum, formed of homeless or neglected boys from Dobbs Ferry, wowed crowds in the Memorial Day procession. Recruited from street walls, the cadet gray group plays on instruments linked to the 1876 Centennial prize, symbolizing the institution’s training in music and trades. The asylum, praising philanthropy, aims to turn boys toward useful citizenship and bright futures through education, play, and disciplined work.
