The Zelienople High School band was organized in 1930 by Mr. Meizer, a representative of an instrument company, In 1931, the band presented their tirst concert under the direction of Mr. Gerald Smith, tirst music instructor at Zelienople. - For years the band met in a portable attached to the present shop building. ln 1957, this building was destroyed by tire. With the aid of the band mothers and community drives, instruments and music, which had been damaged by the Ere, were replaced, and CI brick building was constructed to be used as the music room. In the past, the band has repaid the community with mid-game performances, parades, and annual concerts.
