The band was started on January 1, 1960, when we marched for the first time in Los Trancos Woods. To celebrate the 55th Anniversary of our founding, we threw a party for ourselves on January 3, 2015. | 
[01]  Hal and John produce a little home-made music!
[02]  Kitty looks sharp with her fringed washboard!
[03]  “Groucho” Claire is in fine form.
[04]  Jan has a colorful dance routine.
[05]  Ptah plays a holiday tune on his bamboo flute.
[06]  Boris plays by ear!
[07]  Doug is looking dapper for this special occasion.
[08]  Jack is sounding good.
[09]  Anne knows all of our tunes by heart.
[10]  Dave joins in the chorus.
[11]  Merele is a percussionist today!
[12]  We had some good-sounding horns in the house!
[13]  Paul wore red-white-blue for the occasion.
[14]  Jan is looking good!
[15]  Milkman wore white, as usual.
[16]  Randy has an offer you can’t refuse!
[17]  They don’t call him squeezer for nothing!
[18]  We didn’t have a lot of extra floor space for a band formation, so we settled for a surround-sound effect!
[19]  With 80 guests at the party, there was good music, good food, and good fellowship all around!
[20]  We played tunes from our extensive chart book.
[21]  Jimmy was in good form that night.
[22]  Lots of good trumpets were a treat to hear.
[23]  Jo-Ellen and Jim were very happy to be here.
[24]  Squeezer can squeeze a trumpet, too!
[25]  Claire brought her son, Jim, to the party so he could meet the band!
[26]  Our percussion section is First Class ...
[27]  ... and our brass section is second to none!
[28]  Music for parties and parades ... for 55 years!
[29]  Jim is happy to ba among friends.
[30]  Doug can sing and play at the same time!
[31]  Chris does a nice job with his Sousa.
[32]  Helen, Lou, and Jim give us a nice smile for this candid shot.
[33]  Carmen appears to be addressing us from the podium.
[34]  But here, she harmonizes with Rich.
[35]  Jay and Rich make a serious sound!
[36]  No act would be complete without a juggler in the house!
[37]  A high-powered band like ours wouldn’t be complete without Cindy’s descants.
[38]  Fortunately, we had a high ceiling so Patti could perform.
[39]  Carmen left her fruit bowl home today.
[40]  The surround-sound effect, with the high ceiling, produced a great sound!
[41]  Linda put down her camera long enough to pose with Jonathan!
[42]  Rick is sounding good!
[43]  This guy is enjoying every minute of it!
[44]  Patti can twirl on one foot!
[45]  Delightful Debbie loves the band!
[46]  Ross liked the high ceiling, too!
[47]  What a lineup! Hans, Jay, Rich, Carmen, and Harvey!
[48]  And last, but not least, Suzie Q!
