January 1920 reporting identifies a Vernon brass band preparing for spring. A July notice announces an engagement on July 29–30. These items establish the named local band but do not establish that the announced July performance took place.

Earlier and later relationships are not established by the current evidence.
High for exact name, Vernon residency and existence from two contemporary Black Dispatch items; medium for activity because the July item is an announcement and no completed performance was recovered.
