The following notice appeared in
the December 19, 1890 issue of the Sandusky
Register.
Fred N. Innes and his 13th
Regiment Band from New York gave a concert in Sandusky on Friday, December 19,
1890. Mr. Innes was considered “the greatest trombone player in the world.” Tickets for the concert were on sale at
Nusly’s Jewelry Store, and sold for fifty cents, seventy five cents and one
dollar. The concert was held at Biemiller’s Opera House, which once stood at
the southwest corner of Water and Jackson Streets.
A
brief article in the Sandusky Register
of December 29, 1890, reported that the famous 13th Regimental band
gave a superb concert at the Opera House, and “the music loving people of
Sandusky who attended were more than pleased.” The audience was not as large as
was expected, due to the closeness of the holidays. The article continued, “The
members of this band are all artists of the highest rank, and under the matchless
leadership of Mr. F. N. Innes this musical organization is one of the strongest
in the country, not excepting the great Gilmore’s band.”
