Huhlein’s Concert Band and Orchestra was organized in 1898 by John O. Huhlein who was born in this city in 1874. He is a young man of musical ability with twenty years experience in musical matters. The success of this band, is mainly due to his hard efforts and because he loved music and wanted his home city represented in the musical world. He is proud of the band that bears his name, as are also the people who have heard it render standard and popular music at the Great Henderson County Fair, and at the summer concerts at Atkinson park. Huhlein’s baad has played in all the surrounding cities, and represented Henderson on all the booster trips.
Thomas H. Fisher is the present conductor, and Carl Lindstrom, the cornet soloist, is considered one of the best in the country, he having played with the famous Gilmore band at Madison Square Garden, New York City.
Huhlein’s band has always been among the first to offer its services for charitable purposes, a duty which the band considers a pleasure and this kind of work delights the hearts of all the individual members of the organization. John O. Huhlen is well known throughout this section of the cown-try and he always fulflls his contracts to the letter. He is a promoter of carnivals, and has brought to Henderson the best attractions ever seen here.
