This picture was made at the State Fair of Texas about 1950. After an invitation that Daddy received, the band went to Dallas for the day. We marched in a half time show at the Cotton Bowl that evening.
If you look to the right in the first row seated you will see Don Smith with his oboe. My place was in the center of the same row, behind the music stands. I played flute from the age of 10.
This music festival was an annual event at the fair in those days. We took everybody on school buses, and a good time was had by all concerned.
