Tulsa Salvation Army Band
A Sapulpa Historical Museum account quotes contemporary March 1918 Herald reporting that announced the Tulsa Salvation Army band for the March 9–10 dedication weekend. The retrospective describes bands playing and marching but does not independently establish a particular completed performance by the Tulsa band. Continuity with the Tulsa band photographed in 1942 is not established.

Compare the separate record: Salvation Army Brass Band of Tulsa. Similar names or places alone do not establish a shared identity.
