Share your Golden Age of Bands stories with us!

Arne B. Larson conducts the Golden Age Band, which brought historic instruments from his collection to the stage for nearly three decades.

Did you play in this historic ensemble? The NMM is gathering memories and stories about the Golden Age of Bands for an oral history project, and we would love to talk to anyone who played with this ensemble about their experience.

We'd like to hear from you!

Share your memories and photos to help us preserve this legacy!

If you would like to be part of this project, please contact the NMM's Museum Educator, Anna Van Kley, to set up a time to share your memories! Send her an email at arianna.vankley@usd.edu or give her a call at 605-658-3440.

Join our Facebook group to share your memories and connect with other alumni! Please feel free to invite anyone you know who was part of the Golden Age of Bands at USD as you see fit.
