Pictured: The Payson Silver Band in 1904. The Silver Band
had several directors until 1911, when it was disbanded for the first
time. In 1914-15 the band was reorganized. The band played at the
Pavilion as well as other locations in other nearby towns until about
1918.
In 1890, the Payson Brass Band and the Huish Band
consolidated and formed what was to be known as “The Payson Silver
Band.” The group purchased a set of seven new silver instruments
for a cost of $700. They instruments were paid for by the members in
cooperation with the patronage of the public. Over the next ten
years, the band performed at many locations from Ogden in the north
to Mt. Pleasant in the south. More to come in the next edition of
The Payson Chronicle.
