Cadet bands were very popular during the post-Civil War years. They grew out of military bands, but became concert groups, performing light classical and popular music. The top band leaders and soloists were stars of their day, Perhaps this concert was an effort by the City of Boston to show the benefits of annexation. Then again, maybe it was just a concert.
