Booker T. Washington High School Band, Tulsa

Candidate group · high confidence

What the evidence supports

The 1947 festival report says the Tulsa band did not attend.

1945 Clarence Fields teaching claim remains unverified; distinguish newspaper explanation from an independently recovered board policy.

Confidence detail: high. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
