The Cardiff, Wales Band
When
Bishop Chauncy W. West was presiding over the European Mission in 1862 for the
Latter-day Saint Church, he heard a band play at Cardiff, Wales. All of its
members were Mormons. On his return to Ogden, he raised money to send for them.
. . .
The
members of the Cardiff band crossed the Plains in 1863 in Thomas Rick’s
company. Many concerts were given on the way. On arriving at Fort Laramie,
Wyoming, the band gave a concert to the soldiers and remained with them
overnight. The following morning the musicians were taken by the soldiers in
the government ambulance to overtake the emigrant company. Upon arriving in
Utah, they settled in Ogden and joined the famous brass band there.
