Cape Girardeau's municipal band
Now that the winter solstice is behind us, I begin to think of days getting longer, if only by seconds, and look forward to spring and summer. The Cape Girardeau Municipal Band and its outside concerts come to mind. Part of my interest in the municipal band is personal for me. My maternal grandfather was one of its early members, playing trombone for the band. I never knew my grandfather. He passed away long before I was born. The few photographs that exist of him outside of his wedding picture are with the Cape Municipal Band.
