Just another quick lesson with marching bands.
If you look at the years that marching bands were ALL MEN. Its from the late 1800s to the late 1930's....Its a little conflict called WW2, that sent all the men away to war, thus leaving all the women behind. The women had to pick up the pieces and do all the mens work since majority of them were drafted. This bringing women into marching bands for the first time.
So for the comments about "they had to had at least one women in the band", the answer is no...it may sound weird, but back then they really had no women in the band.
Bands back then were cadet bands, military units. and back then "women in military = no no"
