Marshall Small-Town Band Festival
Evidence note · medium confidenceWhat the evidence supports
The Logan County Historical Society retrospective dates the festival to 1938–1951, describes eligibility as high schools with fewer than 300 students, reports 65 Oklahoma schools by 1951, and says a 1952 scheduling conflict ended the event.
Limits and open questions
Retrospective evidence; verify with contemporary programs. The 65 schools are not 65 newly identified bands and may overlap other festivals.
Confidence detail: medium. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
