Scope and content
Lincoln High School had a large and thriving band in the 1950's. Members, pictured performing in the school auditorium in a January, 1953, photograph, were impressively dressed in dark uniforms with gold shoulder braid. Under the direction of Robert Dezell, who also directed the school orchestra, the Lincoln band performed for each basketball and football game. They, like the school orchestra, traveled to junior high schools in the area to promote Lincoln's fine musicians. The band was honored to represent the City of Tacoma and Lincoln High School in the annual Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival where they marched in the parade and participated in the band jamboree. Photograph was taken on behalf of the Lincolnian yearbook; copy ordered by Al Swift. (1953 Lincolnian, p. 86)
