University Preparatory School cadet military band, Tonkawa
Evidence note · high confidenceWhat the evidence supports
The January 1906 inauguration report identifies university preparatory cadets from Tonkawa and their cadet military band.
Limits and open questions
Connect as early evidence within the existing Northern Oklahoma College institutional history; do not infer continuous ensemble identity with present bands. Generic Tonkawa band in the same report may refer to the same group, so no second band is counted.
Confidence detail: high. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
