In about 1932 Menard organized a band to be used in parades, football games, and other things. After a short while they had a full band. Instruments were donated to the school with no cost to students participating. My brother, Bill, played trumpet, and I, trombone.
Soon the Band Director organized a band of forty or fifty students. There was no time to teach music to players so Mr. Floyd Kirk, the Director, said he could teach us by number, which hed did; and we got a band together quickly, as it was football season and we played at games. Our uniforms were donated to the school.

The band played on for two or three years. The Band Director also directed the
Sodality of Blessed Virgin, The Glee Club. When the time came for him to leave, he took all of the instruments and uniforms with him. About that time money was scarce.
