EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the quaint town of Westerville, Ohio, USA, in the year 1907, showcases the lively and spirited members of the Euterpean Band, affectionately known as the 'Rube Band of Otterbein.' The image transports us back in time, as the men and boys proudly display their brass instruments, including cornets, trumpets, and a trombone, while donning their unique costumes. The drummer, poised with his drumsticks and an umbrella at the ready, adds an element of excitement and anticipation. The band members, dressed in their fancy attire, exude a sense of pride and camaraderie, as they gather outdoors for their musical performance. Their outfits, reminiscent of the early 1900s, feature a mix of red, green, and blue hues, with some members wearing bow ties and others sporting straw hats. The overall effect is one of charm and nostalgia, as we imagine the joy and energy that filled the air during their lively performances. Despite their playful nickname, the Euterpean Band was a respected and integral part of the community in Westerville. The name 'Rube' was likely a term used to refer to rural or unsophisticated people, but the band members took it in stride and embraced their identity with pride. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of music and the joy it brings to communities, even a century ago.
