The United States Army Field Band, 1947-1997

This series largely parallels Series II in its content and organization. Slater was a member of this band between 1947 and 1957, and much of the series consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, and band publications from that period. It also includes publications, press releases, rosters and orders, itineraries and tour materials, photographs, and a small number of items related to the National Concert Band. This series also contains several photographs of the band and a significant amount of materials relating to the band's 1953 European tour.
