The band was established on December 6, 1900, and has been active for more than 100 years. The band was heavily influenced by John Philip Sousa and the popular marches of the 20th century. It won first place against 26 other bands at the 1931 fireman's Labor Day parade in Washington DC, and in 1965 was commended by the United States Senate.[1]
