Ada band festival, February 22, 1940
Evidence note · high confidenceWhat the evidence supports
The Madill Record describes the parade, instrumental clinic, Karl L. King conducting a festival-band rehearsal, and an evening concert including the East Central College band.
Limits and open questions
Event and temporary festival ensemble, not a new permanent resident band. The text does not establish that King conducted the clinic itself.
Confidence detail: high. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
