Current research decision

What the wording does—and does not—claim

The evidence for Nopper's Juvenile Band does not establish uninterrupted continuity across every named period, reorganization, alias, or possible successor. The packet therefore treats 1920–1922 as the supported evidence span rather than a complete institutional chronology.
