If the band department at your school has any records from the band movement during the 1930-1935 period, contact the ASBOA office. During this six-year period, several personalities within ASBOA were so aggressive that meetings continually got out of control. Mr. J.A. Day was persuaded to preside at all meetings as our chief executive officer. He ran the meetings with a firm grip, giving us at least a modicum of decorum. He was very knowledgeable, understanding, amiable, and a fine school administrator. “I was a ‘young kid on the block’ and was amazed at his leadership,” said Raymond Brandon.
