The Union Cornet Band
Buffalo, New York
The Union Cornet Band first appeared in Buffalo in 1851 when an
advertisement appeared in the Buffalo Morning Express announcing that "THE UNION
BRASS BAND respectfully inform the citizens of Buffalo and vicinity that they
are prepared to furnish MUSIC for Funerals, Processions, Excursions, &c." For
the next thirty or more years, there was hardly a parade or celebration in
the city of Buffalo that did not include the Union Cornet Band.
For many years, the Union Cornet Band gave a series of regular Wednesday and Saturday summer evening concerts at Schenkelberger's Hall at the corner of Main and Virginia Streets in Buffalo.
