What remains uncertain
Distinct from Atoka Baptist Orphanage School Band / the separately documented band and from the mixed Atoka School Orchestra; a shared identity is not established.
Medium-high for a separate school-band identity and 1936–37 date from a yearbook transcription that explicitly distinguishes 'the Band' from the mixed orchestra; medium/low for formal name, director, stand-alone roster and instrument assignments pending the original band page.
