High School and College band students and directors will find "The Music Men" by Margaret Hindle Hazen fasincating as well as entertaining. Find out the history behind the community and professional bands, and how they have influenced the development of school bands. Great information about all the different kinds of bands from the 19th century including lots of photos. The only down side to the book is that some of the same information is presented in different chapters. However, this is the most complete book of band history I have read and I found it quite enjoyable.
