[note] Q. How large did a town have to be in the early days to afford a Town Band? A: The size of the town meant little, it was how many musicians lived there that counted. Liberal, Kansas, founded in 1888, when the CK & N Railroad reached there, had a town band the following year. Their (later) football team received its name from a remark by a visiting newspaper editor who heard the band play and said “They play like a band of wild Indians!” Thus the Liberal Redskins are the high school football team today.
Picture is of a band with 9 men and 2 boys. Each are holding a musical instrument.
