Limits and open questions
The previous Thursday implies February 9, 1956. This is a completed Tulsa performance, not proof of local headquarters, founding date or an extended lifespan. No matching name found in accessible baseline.
Confidence detail: high for performance; medium for inferred date. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
