Golden History Moment

Golden High School was located at 10th and Washington for more than 30 years. The site was always a bit cramped, with no outdoor space–no athletic fields. Guess where the marching band practiced? On 9th Street! According to the October 6, 1955 Transcript, Folks who live on Ninth street are enjoying their seasonal entertainment provided by the Golden high school band which finds this street most adaptable for marching practice. The band is shown here in formation and at attention in practicing maneuvers Monday. Several regular fans–some of them little folks too young to attend school–come as soon as they hear the band and sit on the curb or in their gardens or on back porches to watch and listen.

When the students moved to the new school, at 24th and Jackson, they maintained the custom. The photo below shows the band marching on Willow Creek Drive, a block-long street across from the 1956 school.
