Done. The Payson Brass Band was organized by Bishop John B. Fairbanks and his first councilor, Oral Simons, July 1, 1869, with the following members: William Clayson Sr., John Butler, Charles W. Wright, John J. Walser, Henry Butler, John Jacob Schaerrer, Nathan Clayson, John E. Betts, Lars H. Jensen (known as Lars Arstrum) and Ferdinand Oberhansley, who was the only one not present, as he was not at home when William Clayson was chosen president and leader. A little later Edward Huish, Joseph E. Cook and John Staheli became members. The instruments purchased at that time were paid for by subscription and the citizens of Payson donating liberally. The railroad was built as far as Ogden at that time and it cost $40.00 to bring the instruments from Ogden to Salt Lake City by stage coach. T.H. WilsonSr. brought them from Salt Lake to Payson free of charge. These were all brass instruments. In 1879, John D. Stark induced the following young men to learn to play band instruments: Solomon Hancock, AsielHan-coc- k, Orson P. Huish, Albert S. Huish, George H. Done, John Done Jr., James E. Huish, John Quigley, John B. Fairbanks, A little later on and John D. Stark. William Clayson Jr., W. C. Wightman Jr. and Joseph S. Douglas joined the group. A set of instruments was purchased and active work began. William Clayson Sr. was instructor at this time. The band members went into the theatrical business and with the assistance of some of the local talent presented some entertainments on the stage of the old Union Hall just back of W. J. Douglass brick store on first north and main street. They also went to Spanish Fork and Springville and played to good sized audiences. In this way funds were raised to pay for the instruments. In 1880 an invitation was given to the young band to join the old organization which was accepted by the following: John D. Stark, A.S. Huish, John Done Jr., Solomon Hancock, Asiel Hancock, John Quigley, J.S. Douglass, John B. Fairbanks, W.C. Wightman Jr., William Clayson Jr., and George H. Done. A band wagon was rigged up with John Keele as the teamster. William Clayson Sr. was the leader of the band until the time of his death, July 28, 1887. George H. Done was then chosen and held the position until 1895 when he resigned and went East to study music at Ann Arbor, William Clayson Jr., a son of Michigan. the former leader, was chosen to fill the vacancy and held the position until 1898 when George H. Done was again chosen and held the position of leader until Jan. 5, 1904. Bernard C. Done, his son, was the next leader. Many members joined the band from time to time, some of which were the following: Hyrum Brimhall, William John Decin, John P. Quigley, Hyrum Reece, Abraham Done, two sons of Jack Wasler, Ralph Archibald, J. Frank Pickering, John J. McClellan and Squire Brooks. In October 1888, a band reunion was held in Provo and the bands of Utah County were asked to join in a friendly contest. Two prizeswere offered for the best bands, and a prize for the best cornet solo and bass solo. 'The following bands entered the contest; Lehi, with A.M. Fox and Mr. Kirkman as leaders, Spanish Fork band with leader James Reece,, Huish Band of Payson with E. A. Huish leader and the Payson Brass Band with George H. Done as leader. Payson Brass Band won first prize and Spanish Fork second prize. The Huish Band of Payson received very favorable mention. Professor Kent, a stranger to all of the bands was the adjudicator. George H. Done of Payson and A. M. Fox of Lehi entered the cornet contest. Mr. Done was awarded the prize and also played an encore number. William Clayson was the only entrant for the bass solo and he was given a prize for his excellent playing. In 1890 the members of the Huish Band and the Payson Brass Band met and con- - William 1869 - Clayson 1887. Sr. Band leader solidated forming the Payson Silver Band. A president, secretary, treasurer, business manager, leader and assistant leader were chosen. The leader was also the vice Shortly after the following president. men became members: Frank Wightman, Henry Keele, George Stark, Fred Hoyt, Ed. Miles, Arthur Done, son of Abraham Done, Adelbert Peery, Paul Ludlow, Charles Hawkins, William Hone, and Nathan Clayson. In 1892 the Contributor Co. Organ of the Young Mens Association offered a prize of $100.00 for the best band belonging to a Ward or Improvement Association. Other prizes for vocal soloists etc. The Payson Silver were also offered. Band prepared a selection for the occasion and went to Salt Lake City to the contest which was held in the Tabernacle. It was arranged to have the contesting bands parade the streets of the city during the day before the contest at night. It was then seen that the only bands to enter the contest were the 10th Ward Band of Salt Lake, The Taylorsville Band, and the Pay-so- n Silver Band. The parade was made and the bands were asked to render a piece at the afternoon meeting in the Assembly Hall. Joseph H. Smith was presiding over the meeting. The Taylorsville Band played a selection after which the Payson Band was called upon and responded with an Overture. This was the beginning of the trouble that followed. The leading members of the other two bands got together and decided to call a meeting of the three bands and have the Payson Band barred from the contest. The bands were called together and Professor Stevens stated the object of the meeting. About this time, Payson had been divided into two wards and not all of the members of the band belonged to the 1895 and 1898-190- Improvement Association. Prof. Stevens stated, that technically the Payson Band could be barred but he did not think it was right to do so. When a vote was taken, a majority of the other two bands voted to keep the Payson Band out of the contest. However, some of the band members were against the action and after the affair was over they acknowledged that they too had gotten help outside of their band. In anticipation of the outcome of the action to bar the Payson Band from the contest and also desiring to have them play the number they had prepared, the managers of the affair authorized Prof. Stevens to offer our band $25.00 if they would play that night. The band agreed to play, providing the amount of the railroad fare was guaranteed. This was quickly agreed to. When the Payson Band played their selection, they were the only one to receive an encore. In 1900 another musical contest was held in Spanish Fork Pavilion. A prize of $50.00 was offered to the bands entering from Springville, Spanish Fork and Pay-so- n. Prof. A.C. Smith, the adjudicator, awarded Payson Band the prize money. In 1890 a new set of instruments was purchased and these were all silver plated. They cost about $700.00 and were paid for by the members and the liberal patronage of the citizens. Edward Reid made the first two sets of uniforms for the Brass Band and was paid by subscription and money the band members earned from their many entertainments. In 1900 a new set of uniforms costing $275.00 was purchased and paid for by band members, entertainments, and gen- erous citizens. It can be said that Payson has always had a band ever since it was first organized in 1869. New members joined continually and at one time there were two excellent organizations. When they became weak they consolidated and thus a good organization has been kept up. It is amusing to hear some of the older Continued on Page Four 1 1 2 |
