Humina Band from Ashtabula Harbor

HUMINA BAND as it was pictured in the early 1920s with Teppo Jalkanen as its director and Tynne Wallo as soloist. The Humina Band presented concerts in many states and areas of Ohio and became one of the Finnish people's greatest displays of talent and ability. It became known as the greatest band in the city and northeastern Ohio. One of the trips carried the band to Finland and another was to the Tercentary Day festival near Wilmington, Del. in 1938.
[that was the 300th anniversary of the Finns arrival in America]
