Garden City Municipal Band Remains A Civic Pride Since 1879
The Garden City Municipal Band, about 60 musicians strong, traces its roots to late 1800s town bands and survives as a community fixture funded by the city budget. Patti Barton, the band’s longest serving member since 1954, notes it offers youth a place to play after school and serves as an outlet for aging musicians to perform with family members like daughter Dallce Barton. Linda Adams and others say they simply play whenever the chance arises.
