Lunch and a Bite of History: Community Bands of Brown County

Known nationally for its polka bands, Brown County has a rich history of community bands as well. Town bands popped up everywhere, for as little as one performance to as many as a thousand (over eighty years). Some won state championships and national attention. Some filled a momentary need for music. As a local history researcher and member of the New Ulm Municipal Band, Dan Groebner will describe Brown County’s history of music and community bands.
